Tekton Dynamics

Tekton Dynamics builds an AI control layer for industrial welding robots. The aim is to let a manufacturer turn an existing robot into an autonomous welder without a teach pendant, robot programming or a roboticist on staff, including on high mix products where each part differs from the last. The company describes its mission as putting intelligent robots within reach of manufacturers of every scale, and focuses on the shortage of skilled welding labor. The process has three steps. The customer shares its current welding setup and goals, and the company returns a free automation and installation plan within 24 hours. Tekton then mounts its vision system and an AI edge device onto the robot cell, which the site says takes under an hour, and runs the first sample welds. After that the customer uploads jobs to the robot, which plans the path, adapts to the part in front of it and welds each shift without manual programming. The product is aimed at fabrication shops and manufacturers with robot cells who need flexible welding across varied parts. The site reports that the company has joined the MTC's AURA programme to scale real world testing of its robots ahead of commercial deployment, and that it was selected for the Slush 100 startup competition.
