About Persona

Persona AI is developing its humanoid around skilled work in shipyards, fabrication shops, energy facilities and construction sites. The platform is intended to use human tools and access workspaces such as stairs, decks and confined structures that are difficult to redesign for fixed automation. Initial engineering concentrates on welding, inspection, maintenance, material handling and heavy fabrication.

The company’s first-generation robot has completed off-gantry welding tests using expert teleoperation to transfer a welder’s torch motion into the humanoid. Those demonstrations validate actuation, kinematics and seam-following before higher autonomy is introduced. Persona is working with shipbuilding and steel partners on prototype and field programmes and remains in the industrial-development and pilot stage.
