en.Wedoany.com Reported - Italian cognitive robotics company Oversonic Robotics has announced that STMicroelectronics, Fondazione ENEA Tech Biomedical, and SpotInvest have invested in the company to accelerate its industrial, technological, and international development. Oversonic Robotics is the creator of RoBee, a cognitive humanoid robot that is the first of its kind certified to operate in complex environments.
The addition of new shareholders aims to support Oversonic's industrial, technological, and international growth, while strengthening its partner ecosystem to create value for Oversonic and the application development built around RoBee. The transaction is also part of a broader value creation path, including strengthening the company's presence in the United States and launching a new phase of international growth in the global cognitive humanoid robotics market.
As a publicly listed company and global semiconductor leader, STMicroelectronics will help enhance industrial momentum, drive new technology development, and provide strategic support in the core area of advanced manufacturing. Fondazione ENEA Tech Biomedical supports Oversonic's unique path in developing certified humanoid robots, which are also used in healthcare applications. SpotInvest, an investment vehicle under entrepreneur Marco Setti, opens up additional application areas related to service and process automation, such as the food industry.
This transaction strengthens the company structure, which already includes renowned industrial and financial partners such as Comat, Datalogic, and AVM SGR through the Cysero fund, along with other strategic investors. At the core of Oversonic's development path is RoBee, a cognitive humanoid robot designed to work alongside humans in complex work environments, interacting with operators and other robotic systems through AI-based technology. RoBee is already operational in Italy and abroad, and is the first certified cognitive humanoid robot to operate in factories.
Technology platform development, evolution of applications in manufacturing and healthcare, team strengthening, and industrial capacity expansion are the main directions Oversonic intends to accelerate. From this perspective, the addition of industrial, technological, and financial partners aims not only at corporate growth but also at creating a virtuous cycle between innovation, practical applications, and new markets. Oversonic also views the United States as a natural export market for cognitive humanoid robots, both in terms of commercial and industrial development and the company's international growth. In the U.S., Oversonic has already established an operational presence and intends to strengthen dialogue with industrial partners, investors, customers, and strategic operators in the country.
Oversonic Chairman Fabio Puglia and CEO Paolo Denti stated that the addition of new shareholders is an important step in the company's growth path, building an ecosystem capable of generating shared value between technology, industry, and concrete applications. Through RoBee, they bring humanoid robots into real environments, from factories to healthcare, transforming advanced technology platforms into application infrastructure serving industries, operators, and production systems. Italy remains the technological and industrial base, but Europe and the United States are the markets for the next dimensional leap.
Fabio Gualandris, President of Quality, Manufacturing and Technology at STMicroelectronics, stated that automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics are key enablers for the future of manufacturing, and the company's commitment to advancing these technologies reflects a focus on improving adaptability, safety, and efficiency, while helping shape the next generation of humanoid robots for industry. By deploying these technologies in its own operations and collaborating with global robotics customers, STMicroelectronics is contributing its industrial expertise to develop solutions for the future of manufacturing.
