Persona AI, founded by former NASA Valkyrie leader Nic Radford and former Figure CTO Jerry Pratt, is focusing its humanoid robots on shipyard welding as a near-term economically viable application. The company has partnerships with HD Hyundai and POSCO in Korea, targeting skilled labor shortages in shipbuilding where hundreds of kilometers of linear welds are needed per ship.
In a recent podcast appearance, Figure founder Brett Adcock pushed back against humanoid hype, arguing that the true bottleneck is onboard intelligence, not hardware manufacturing, and claiming early customers are already seeing a real-world return on investment.
A new resolution in San Mateo County aims to mandate on-site human supervision, automation impact fees, and strict fire safety requirements for commercial humanoids, setting a high regulatory bar for physical AI startups.
