What Tekton Dynamics does

Our mission is to empower every manufacturer, no matter their scale, to invent and build anything using intelligent robots. Today’s industrial robots are fast but "blind". They struggle with any task that isn't perfectly repetitive. We are building the eyes and brain (a proprietary vision system and AI model) that allow industrial robots to see, reason, and perform complex work with sub-millimeter accuracy and the adaptability of a human expert. We are witnessing the start of a new industrial revolution: an era of advanced manufacturing powered by AI and robotics. We aim to lead this shift by putting these tools into the hands of every manufacturer, ensuring the power to invent and build at scale isn’t a privilege of the few.

AI control layer for welding robots

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

We are building an AI control layer that gives industrial welding robots the ability to see and adapt. Our product combines a proprietary vision system with AI models that let robots perform complex welding tasks with sub-millimeter accuracy, handling variation that traditional robots can't.

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

We live and work in London, England, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is our home and offers access to manufacturing sectors and robotics talent. We'll stay where the team is based to move fast and maintain strong local connections.
