What it is

Persona AI is a Houston startup founded in 2025 by former NASA Valkyrie and Figure leaders Nicolaus Radford, Jerry Pratt and Jide Akinyode. Its modular bipedal humanoid is designed for skilled industrial work such as welding, grinding, inspection and fabrication in shipyards, steel shops and energy sites. The company has demonstrated untethered welding in a real steel-fabrication shop, signed a joint development agreement with HD Hyundai and a partnership with classification society ABS, and says it is targeting two work shifts per day with a quick-swap battery.
