Eni (E) said Wednesday it signed an agreement with Generative Bionics, an Italian deep-tech firm specializing in humanoid robots powered by Physical AI, to evaluate potential areas of technological and industrial collaboration in advanced robotics.

Areas covered by the collaboration include identifying use cases for the humanoid robots in Eni's industrial and operational environments, particularly focusing on inspection, teleoperation, remote assistance and support in complex environments.

The collaboration will focus on identifying innovative solutions for humanoid robot components and materials, leveraging the expertise and product portfolio of Eni's chemicals unit, Versalis.

The collaboration will also focus on the evolution of GENE.01's foot and footwear system. GENE.01 is the advanced humanoid robot developed by Generative Bionics, Eni said.

The company said it will consider giving Generative Bionics access to its high-performance computing capabilities to support the development, training and validation of Physical AI models for humanoid robots.
