Although AI and robotics are distinctly different fields, together, the two are unlocking incredible new possibilities. One company that’s making waves in this area is Milpitas, California-based RoboForce, an AI robotics startup that has developed an advanced “Robo-Labor” system. The company's robots are capable of 1mm precision in fine motor movements and manipulations. When combined with its internally designed and developed AI expert model, a fleet of these machines are able to install and secure solar modules for large-scale commercial and utility-scale projects.

RoboForce will be launching pilot projects throughout 2025, with plans for a commercial launch at the end of this year. The company's founder and CEO Leo Ma is a 15-year veteran in the AI robotics space. He joins ASME TechCast to share insights into his journey, the robotic solutions at RoboForce, and what's next.
