Path Robotics raises $300M Series E at a $2.45B valuation to take its welding robots beyond welding
Georgian led the round with Drive Capital; the Columbus company says annual recurring revenue grew 17-fold in 18 months and plans to expand into other production-line tasks in 2027.
Why it matters
Path is one of the clearest tests of whether physical AI can earn money on factory floors now rather than in future humanoids: its robots perceive parts and adapt welds where preprogrammed automation struggles. The raise nearly quadruples its valuation, per The Next Web, and lifts total funding above $610 million since 2018. Its customers include HII, Lockheed Martin and Saronic, and it signed a $600 million performance-based shipbuilding agreement with HII earlier this year. Watch whether the 2027 move beyond welding lands.
