About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Path Robotics is a Columbus, Ohio autonomous welding robotics company founded in 2018 by brothers Andy Lonsberry (CEO) and Alex Lonsberry (CTO) out of Case Western Reserve University. Path builds AI-powered intelligent welding cells that automate metal fabrication for defense shipyards, utility and energy infrastructure, data centers, and heavy industry.

"AI-powered welding that adapts in real time — seam by seam, just like a human would." — path-robotics.com/obsidian

Products & Technology

Product / Tech What it is
Obsidian Physical-AI reinforcement-learning agent trained inside Path's proprietary Weld World Model on tens of millions of welded inches. Runs at the edge of each cell.
Weld World Model Proprietary simulator/world model that captures pre-, during-, and post-weld data; feeds back into Obsidian training.
Intelligent Welding Cells Fully autonomous welding cells sold on a consumption / CapEx-free model. Claimed 4x productivity, 30% lower cost, 97%+ first-pass yield.
Rove (April 2026) Mobile welding system mounted on a quadruped platform; extends Path beyond fixed-cell applications.
Sensor Stack 2 cameras + 4 lasers delivering 360-degree sub-millimeter awareness around the torch; neural-network filtering removes false reflections in real time.

Markets

  • Defense (shipyards, military manufacturing)
  • Utility & energy infrastructure
  • Data centers
  • Heavy industry / large fabrications

Notable customers and announced deployments include HII (America's largest military shipbuilder), Saronic, LAD Services, Tycrop, Mine Rite Technologies, and Millerbernd.

Developer / API Surface

Surface Status
Public REST/GraphQL API None
Developer portal None
OpenAPI / AsyncAPI / Postman None
Public SDKs / CLIs None
Webhooks / Events None
Public GitHub organization github.com/path-robotics — 50 public repos, almost entirely upstream open-source forks (ROS, protobuf, abseil, ceres-solver, pytorch3d, gRPC, OpenTelemetry C++, tensorflow, fmt, mimalloc, etc.) used as internal build dependencies. No published developer artifacts, no documented external API surface.
RSS / Changelog None public
Status page None public

Path Robotics' commercial surface is physical welding cells sold on a consumption / per-weld basis, not a developer API. Obsidian is a closed, proprietary on-device model; the Weld World Model is internal training infrastructure. This repo is profiled for portfolio and landscape completeness — to anchor the autonomous-welding and physical-AI segment of the API Evangelist network alongside Figure Robotics, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, and other embodied-AI players where Naftiko's governed-AI thesis intersects with industrial deployment.

Pipeline Run

  • x-type: company
  • x-tier: 3 (no-apis)
  • Profiled: 2026-05
  • Artifacts: apis.yml, README.md only — no OpenAPI / AsyncAPI / JSON Schema / capabilities generated because no public API surface exists to model. The GitHub org was reviewed; no first-party Path Robotics SDK, CLI, or spec was identified — only upstream OSS forks.

Maintained by Kin Lane, API Evangelist.
