SMRTR summary

Italian company Generative Bionics has upgraded its Gene.01 humanoid robot with full-body "smart skin" that senses touch, force, temperature, and proximity — allowing it to detect nearby humans before and during contact. Built in six months, it uses physics-native AI to coordinate movement and safety in real time. Its first real-world deployment will involve shipyard welding operations with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri.
