While robots are used to automate tedious and dangerous tasks, they have little impact on manufacturing because they do not have the precision required for core manufacturing tasks. Robots vibrate in the presence of the large contact forces required to form and shape metal into useful products, causing imperfections. Reforge Robotics’ AI models create vibration and force control software that enables robots to be used for all manufacturing tasks, especially those done by expensive, hard-to-use machinery.

Nosa Edoimioya is the founder of Reforge Robotics, a company that uses software and computation to improve the performance of robotic systems in manufacturing. He earned his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and a PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan, where he was a National Science Foundation Research Fellow. His mission is to make robots move as fluidly as humans, leading to symbiotic relationships between humans and robots.
