Persona AI · Humanoid · 2025
The Persona AI Humanoid is an industrial humanoid robot in development by Persona AI, a Houston-based startup founded by robotics and NASA veterans targeting demanding industrial settings such as shipbuilding and heavy industry. Its design emphasises dexterity — controlled, complex motions and compatibility with many common tools — so it can take on physically demanding, hazardous industrial tasks. NOTE: Persona AI is pre-launch and publishes minimal hard specifications (height, weight, DOF, payload, battery not formally released) — those fields are flagged for outreach rather than invented; the company, industrial focus and dexterity/tool-use intent are confirmed. Deliberately a thin-but-honest entry pending a full spec reveal.
