PartnershipHII x Path Robotics x GrayMatter Robotics (HYPR Production Agreement)
2026-08-06HII signed performance-based production agreements with Path Robotics and GrayMatter Robotics worth up to 00 million over seven years to deploy autonomous welding, grinding, blasting, painting, and inspection systems across U.S. Navy shipbuilding programs. The agreements upgrade the HYPR pilot program to a production stage, contingent on technology readiness and performance milestones.
PartnershipHII x Path Robotics x GrayMatter Robotics (HYPR Program)
2026-04-20HII launched the High-Yield Production Robotics (HYPR) program with Path Robotics and GrayMatter Robotics to accelerate adaptive automation in naval shipbuilding, combining robotic welding, automated material movement, autonomous surface treatment, and quality checks into a coordinated production line. Proof-of-concept demonstrations are planned for 2026 with a full pilot expected in 2027, supporting both crewed and uncrewed naval platforms.
