"Will the robot be the first to go into a confined space to do hot work rather than a human? I think that's a huge advantage." - Nicolaus Radford

We are thrilled to share that the special episode of Setting Course, an ABS Podcast, featuring Persona AI CEO Nicolaus Radford, has officially won an AMA Houston Crystal Award!

The maritime and heavy industrial sectors face an urgent, structural shortage of capacity for high-risk operations. In this award-winning episode, Nic sits down with Patrick Ryan of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to break down why shipyards and offshore platforms are the ultimate frontier for humanoid deployment. To scale automation effectively, groundbreaking AI must be matched with a deep understanding of rugged, real-world maritime environments.

Huge congratulations to the ABS marketing and production team on a well-deserved Crystal Award.

The next evolution of performance wear isn’t for humans alone.

As featured in InnovationMap, Persona AI is collaborating with Under Armour to explore how advanced performance materials can support the next generation of humanoid robotics.

The future of industrial work isn’t replacing humans. It’s building alongside them. This partnership focuses on applying Under Armour’s expertise in durability, mobility, and performance to robotic systems purpose-built for demanding environments—including shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing, logistics, and energy. Persona AI continues to push the boundaries of embodied intelligence with systems designed for real-world applications where safety, precision, and reliability matter most.

“The winner in the Physical AI era will not be the company that builds the best robot. The companies and countries that easily deploy humanoids and systems to the field for specific purposes will win.”

Our Head of Commercial Strategy, Michael Patrick Perry, laid it out clearly at Seoul Forum 2026. The race isn’t about who has the coolest lab demo; it’s about who can scale in the real world.

To truly transform heavy industries like steel and shipbuilding, we must move past isolated technical feats and focus on rapid, multi-unit deployment. At Persona AI, we are bridging the gap between R&D and field application by building specialized, field-customized hardware that augments human capital and raises industrial productivity in the world’s most high-risk environments.

A huge thank you to Kim Yoon-soo and the team at the Seoul Economic Daily for the exceptional coverage of our keynote session and our mission to redefine industrial scale.

The future of aerospace and heavy industry relies on automation built for the toughest environments.

At Space Walk III, the Persona AI team connected with defense and deep tech leaders to showcase how our expertise in extreme-environment robotics is scaling the next generation of humanoids for heavy industry. By bringing physical AI to the front lines of high-consequence work, we are building robust systems designed to protect and empower human teams on the shipyard floor and beyond.

Thank you to Capital Factory, Space Center Houston, WRX COMPANIES, and everyone who stopped by the booth to see our technology up close.

"Now is the perfect time to accelerate our production capabilities as we rapidly close the gap between what's possible in the lab versus what's driving real commercial value." - Brian Davis

As featured in InnovationMap, Persona AI has officially tapped Amazon Robotics and Dell Technologies veteran Brian Davis to lead global manufacturing.

Industrial enterprises face an urgent, structural shortage of capacity for heavy maintenance, fabrication, and welding. To deploy humanoids directly to the front lines of shipyards and steel floors at scale, robust hardware engineering must be matched with elite, high-volume supply chain ex*****on. Brian brings the exact track record needed to cement our transition from real-world proving grounds to reliable commercial delivery.

"We don’t require too many backflips in the shipyard. But we need to use our hands." - Nicolaus Radford

In a recent Bloomberg feature, Persona AI CEO Nicolaus Radford spoke with Peter Guest about the real-world application of robotics beyond viral acrobatics.

While the world watches robots dance, Persona AI is focused on the heavy industries: shipyards, construction sites, and energy infrastructure. We are purpose-building humanoids to tackle the critical labor gaps humans cannot or will not fill.

Real industrial value is not about agility. It is about dexterity. The human hand is the ultimate hardware: delicate enough to assemble a Swiss watch, yet robust enough to swing a mallet. That is why our Houston-based team is obsessed with fine motor skills over household chores.

Today, Persona AI is officially announcing a research and development collaboration with Under Armour Together, we are exploring how advanced performance materials will support the next generation of humanoid robotics operating in demanding, physically intensive environments.

From welding and heavy manufacturing to extreme heat exposure and hazardous material handling, our robots are purpose-built to reduce strain and improve safety for human workers. By evaluating external material layers for durability, thermal regulation, and abrasion resistance, we are working to establish a global standard for robot-specific performance gear. This ensures our humanoids are as protected, agile, and resilient as the humans they support.

“We chose to work with Under Armour because of their track record of innovation with these types of performance materials. As we develop humanoids for intense and potentially hazardous environments, this collaboration helps us understand how advanced materials can enhance long-term reliability, thereby informing solutions to better protect workers in the field.” said Persona AI CEO Nicolaus Radford.
