GENE.01 / GENE.01-W

Model: gene-01-gene-01-w

GENE.01 is Generative Bionics' prototype humanoid Physical AI platform, presented at CES 2026 and later moved toward industrial pre-series development through an Italdesign exterior-design industrialization partnership. The platform centers on a full-size humanoid body with distributed tactile sensing and artificial skin so the robot can use contact feedback as part of its control loop. The related GENE.01-W welding variant is being developed with Fincantieri for shipyard welding support, with official plans for initial on-site tests at the Sestri Ponente shipyard by the end of 2026. Public sources describe the program as industrial validation rather than a consumer or developer product; official dimensions, battery, payload, and pricing remain undisclosed.
