What Forge Robotics does

Forge Robotics is changing the way that metal parts are fabricated. We are enabling a future where our intelligent robotic system completes all steps needed to take raw metal stock and transform it into fully welded parts. Beginning with welding, we are building a robot-mounted vision system and AI feature detection that creates a real-time 3D map and tells the arm exactly where to go at every instant.

A robotics intelligence system for metal fabrication

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building an intelligent robotic system that takes raw metal stock and fabricates fully welded parts autonomously. Our first product is a robot-mounted vision system combined with AI feature detection. It creates a real-time 3D map and directs the welding robot arm precisely where to move at every moment.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco offers access to engineering talent, robotics expertise, and proximity to industrial partners. It's the right place to build the product and grow the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Forge Robotics YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Forge Robotics's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Forge Robotics would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
