Cohesive Robotics

Corporate marketcobotCurated record

Techstars alumnus; NVIDIA Inception program member. Develops smart robotic workcells for high-mix manufacturing of sanding (surface finishing) and welding tasks. Proprietary Argus OS software scans workpiece geometry via 3D vision and auto-generates robot motion plans without requiring CAD models, offline programming, or manual teach pendants; enabling 'scan, plan, go' operation on new part geometries. Targets small and mid-size manufacturers who cannot afford traditional robot integrators. Average deployment time 8-12 weeks; vendor-stated 6-month payback. Commercial customers include an architectural metals manufacturer and DJA (New York-based) reporting doubled welding production capacity.
