On September 30, Eni signed a memorandum of understanding with Generative Bionics, the humanoid robotics company based at Erzelli. The two companies will explore where GENE.01 can operate across the energy group’s industrial facilities and how Eni can support the robot’s development through materials expertise, production sites and computing capabilities.

Fifteen minutes of conversation, a connection from Brussels to the New York studio, and the GENE.01 robot entering the frame just one minute into the interview. On September 1, Daniele Pucci explained to theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's media platform, whose NYSE Wired program brings Silicon Valley and Wall Street into conversation, the approach Generative Bionics is taking to build humanoid robots. He also announced a date: the first quarter of 2027, when the first GENE.01 will be deployed at a Fincantieri shipyard.

At the San Francisco convention centre, among the humanoids and industrial robots of AMD Advancing AI 2026, there was also a piece of Genoa. Gene01, the robot developed by Generative Bionics (the start-up led by Daniele Pucci and born from IIT research), made its live debut in the United States: it walked among visitors, spoke and responded to touch. It also received a visit from Lisa Su, CEO of AMD.
