Vancouver– Generative Bionics, an Italian company developing Physical AI powered humanoid robots, unveiled its first concept at CES 2026, GENE.01. Presented on the global stage during the AMD opening keynote, GENE.01 marks the first appearance of the company’s humanoid robot concept that defines the visual, physical and technological identity of the company’s future products.
During the keynote, AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su hosted Daniele Pucci, CEO of Generative Bionics, to introduce the company’s vision and the breakthrough technologies behind its next generation of autonomous humanoid systems. The unveiling follows Generative Bionics’recently announced $81 million funding round, one of the largest in Europe in humanoid robotics, and represents the first milestone of the company’s industrial roadmap.
“Today, we are unveiling the concept of our new humanoid robot: GENE.01. This platform defines the identity of our Physical AI and paves the way for the robot launch in Q4 2026,” added Daniele Pucci.
“Our goal with GENE.01 is to design a humanoid that is as efficient as it is intelligent, inspired by humans where intelligence lives not only in the brain but also in the body. AMD technologies allow us to treat the robot’s body as part of the compute, where mechatronics and AI work as a single system. This includes full-body tactile skin, enabling a new level of human-centric Physical AI, within a distinctive Italian design where form, function and human experience converge.”
Generative Bionics’ presence in the AMD keynote highlights the growing strategic convergence of advanced computing architectures and humanoid robotics. AMD is both an investor in Generative Bionics and a technology partner, supplying and designing high-performance onboard computing solutions – AMD leadership CPUs, GPUs and FPGA-based embedded vision and sensor platforms – for real-time processing. These technologies power GENE.01’s Physical AI stack, enabling split-second adaptation across perception, computation, and action.
GENE.01 represents the foundational design from which all future Generative Bionics humanoids will evolve. The name originates from the word “Gene” which represents the fundamental unit of identity and inheritance, the element from which the Generative Bionics robot evolution begins. GENE.01 is the first seed 2 of a new lineage of humanoid robots optimized for different industrial use cases, while preserving a coherent identity in form, behaviour and interaction.
