Persona AI Humanoid is a first-generation industrial humanoid prototype from Persona AI (Houston) targeting shipyard welding, fabrication, construction, and energy. It has no published height, weight, payload, runtime, or speed. Evidence includes official claims of modular design and NASA-derived robotic hand technology, an agreement with HD Hyundai for shipyard robots with delivery expected within 18 months, an ABS MOU, and a Louisiana/SSE Steel pilot. The only direct demo evidence is an official video title 'Hand on the Torch: Gen 1 Welds in a Real Industrial Environment'; teleoperation status is not disclosed, and a directory headline reports a teleoperated welding demo. Autonomy is not demonstrated; the company states teleoperation precedes autonomy. No price or RaaS terms are available
