Breaking News: Jerry Pratt Launches New Venture, Persona AI
Jerry Pratt, a former research scientist at MIT, recently made headlines last week when he announced the founding of Persona AI, a new entry in the competitive world of humanoid robotics. Pratt had previously left Boardwalk Robotics to join Figure as their CTO before ultimately parting ways with the company quietly last month.
Teaming up with industry veteran Nic Radford, who has an impressive background including work at NASA and founding his own robotics companies, Persona AI is poised to make waves in the robotics industry. The duo plans to bring on board 10 to 20 “founders” to help shape the company and its vision.
At this early stage, Persona AI’s mission is clear: to capitalize on the advancements in computer vision, mobility algorithms, and machine learning to create cutting-edge humanoid robots that can add real value in various industries. The company’s website is already live and showcases their commitment to innovation and excellence.
“Now is a good time for the commercialization of humanoids.”
While the specifics of Persona AI’s competitive edge over other key players like Agility and Boston Dynamics remain undisclosed, Radford is confident in the company’s unique approach to humanoid robotics. With plans to split operations between Pensacola and Houston, Persona AI is gearing up to revolutionize the field with its state-of-the-art technology and strategic vision.
