- ABS and Persona AI have signed an MOU to integrate humanoid robots into shipyard operations, enhancing productivity and safety.
- The collaboration will focus on adapting NASA-inspired robotic technology for complex and confined shipyard environments.
- Joint projects will collect data to support ship classification and establish standards for digital and remote surveys.
- The initiative aims to set benchmarks for robotic data use in certification, shaping the future of shipbuilding.
ABS and Persona AI have officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to advance the use of humanoid robots in shipyards, aiming to improve productivity and safety in shipbuilding operations. This collaboration focuses on adapting Persona AI’s robots—built partly on NASA’s robotic hand technology—to handle tasks in environments traditionally designed for human workers, offering enhanced flexibility in confined and complex spaces. The partnership will also help establish new standards for robotic data collection, digital surveys, and compliance. According to the report published by Business Wire, this initiative represents a significant step toward integrating advanced robotics into the maritime industry.
Humanoid Robots Set to Transform Shipyard Operations
Under the agreement, ABS and Persona AI will work on joint development projects to gather and analyze data that supports ship classification and certification. These projects aim to guide the creation of standards for digital and remote survey techniques, ensuring that humanoid robots can perform tasks safely and reliably in challenging shipyard conditions. By combining ABS’s expertise in maritime standards with Persona AI’s cutting-edge robotics, the collaboration seeks to streamline shipbuilding operations, improve operational efficiency, and pave the way for the broader adoption of robotic technologies in maritime construction.
