Events

• 2025-07-20 - Research Publication - Nexterity presents machine-vision bolting research at ASME PVP 2025 - The paper examined machine-vision-aided robotics for pipeline bolting. It connected automated fastener work to industrial construction safety, speed and repeatability. ASME published the work in the PVP2025 conference proceedings as paper PVP2025-154467.
• 2025-06-16 - Demonstration - PRCI captures torque data during Nexterity flange-fastening trial - The prototype automated flange-bolt tightening and controlled torquing. Testing captured precise process data alongside the physical operation. The trial took place at PRCIs Technology Development Center for energy-industry stakeholders.
• 2025-05-19 - Capability - NCMS validates four-bolt simultaneous torque control in Nexterity prototype - The operator aligned the tool, stepped back and commanded specified torque from a controller. The robot torqued four orthogonally opposed bolts at once and rotated remotely across larger bolt patterns. Controlled-environment demonstrations followed multiple p…
• 2025-05-13 - Demonstration - Nexterity gives live hands-free bolting demo at SafeTech Summit - The robot replaced manual wrench work on industrial pipeline flanges. The system tightened and loosened multiple bolts while removing workers from high-risk pinch points. Nexterity linked automation to faster processing, improved precision and reduced crew ex…
• 2025-04-30 - Demonstration - Nexterity exhibits Geometra and pitches at accelerator showcase - The showcase opened at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on April 30, 2025. Nexterity displayed its hands-free pipeline bolting technology on the main exhibition floor. The company also pitched during the accelerator cohorts final presentations.
• 2025-03-08 - Demonstration - Nexterity tests bolting MVP on pipe at ProtoTown - The robot operated on a PVC pipe setup during the SXSW-adjacent event in Lockhart, Texas. The demonstration station received three to four hours of attendee traffic. The trial exposed product improvements and logistics lessons for future travelling field demo…
• 2025-02-04 - Award - Nexterity joins MassRobotics accelerator with $100,000 grant - Nexterity was one of 10 companies selected from more than 130 applicants. Each cohort company received a $100,000 equity-free grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. The 13-week programme covered customer discovery, manufacturing, fundraising a…
