Persona AI

Persona AI is collaborating with Under Armour to research advanced textiles for robots operating in extreme environments, signaling a shift toward specialized protective layers for industrial humanoids.

As Persona AI moves from shipyard prototypes to industrial deployment, the appointment of Brian Davis signals a strategic shift toward high-volume production for heavy industry.

Following successful prototype testing, Persona AI and HD Hyundai have transitioned from an experimental MoU to a formal agreement to deploy bipedal welding robots across South Korean shipyards.

Following the reveal of its GENE.01 concept at CES 2026, Italian startup Generative Bionics has signed a four-year industrial partnership with shipbuilding giant Fincantieri to deploy autonomous welding robots in heavy manufacturing.

Humanoid robotics firm Persona AI has signed an MOU with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to develop and standardize inspection tasks for its robots in shipyards. The collaboration aims to create a framework for data collection and certification, paving the way for the official use of humanoids in maritime construction and survey.
