Whilst AI-driven robotics in the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly common, Machina Labs has taken the unique approach of leveraging AI to identify opportunities for design lifecycle innovation. The company received early endorsements from partnerships with the U.S. Air Force and NASA as it has shown great potential to disrupt the manufacturing industry with a fresh approach to the use cases of AI and robotics.
