About Persona AI
Persona is designing humanoids around industrial tools and workplaces rather than domestic service. Persona targets welding, grinding, painting, inspection, maintenance and material handling in shipyards, construction sites and energy facilities.
The robot is intended to use standard tools and move through existing stairs, platforms and work areas, reducing the need to redesign the site around a fixed automation cell. Persona combines the humanoid hardware with perception, task learning and remote supervision so initial deployments can operate around experienced tradespeople and progressively automate repeatable parts of the job.
