Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._ ## Common questions ### What is Gene.01? Gene.01 is a fully functional, sensorized humanoid robot platform designed for safe human collaboration in industrial environments. It features full-body multimodal smart skin that senses touch, proximity, force, and temperature, enabling collision avoidance and safe interaction with humans. Built in just six months, it uses AMD CPUs/GPUs with FPGA/edge processors for high-speed sensor fusion. The platform is open-source, with its URDF model available via PyPI, conda-forge, and ROS build farm. ### How much does Gene.01 cost? Gene.01's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Gene.01 from Generative Bionics. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest. ### Is Gene.01 actually deployed in the real world? Gene.01 is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification. ### Who makes Gene.01? Gene.01 is made by Generative Bionics, based in Genoa, Italy, founded in 2024. ### Can you buy Gene.01? Gene.01 is at research stage and is not yet available for sale. ### What are alternatives to Gene.01? On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to Gene.01 include Walker S2, Digit, HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled, Robody. ### How does Gene.01 compare to Walker S2? Gene.01 and Walker S2 (UBTech Robotics · 13 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. Gene.01 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy. ### What is Gene.01's maturity stage? Gene.01 is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file. ### Where is Gene.01 deployed? No verified deployments of Gene.01 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use. ## Sources (3) 1. **Generative Bionics — Gene.01 product page** · https://gbionics.ai/gene01/ · 2026-07-20 2. **Generative Bionics Introduces Gene.01** · https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/generative-bionics-introduces-gene01-a-fully-functional-smart-skin-humanoid-robot-platform-designed-for-safe-human-collaboration-302829062.html · 2026-07-20 3. **New humanoid robot Gene.01 has skin that can feel your touch** · https://mashable.com/tech/humanoid-robot-has-skin-that-can-feel-your-touch · 2026-07-28 ## The verified answers - [Which humanoid robots can you actually buy in 2026?](/which-humanoid-robots-can-you-actually-buy.md) - [Humanoid robot prices: every verified figure](/humanoid-robot-prices.md) - [The tallest humanoid robots](/tallest-humanoid-robot.md) - [The heaviest humanoid robots](/heaviest-humanoid-robot.md) - [The fastest humanoid robots](/fastest-humanoid-robot.md) - [The strongest humanoid robots by payload](/strongest-humanoid-robot.md) - [Humanoid robot autonomy: verified vs claimed](/humanoid-robot-autonomy-verified.md) - [What is the cheapest robot you can buy?](/what-is-the-cheapest-robot-you-can-buy.md) - [Can a robot feel pain?](/can-a-robot-feel-pain.md) - [Can a robot cry?](/can-a-robot-cry.md) - [Do robots have rights?](/do-robots-have-rights.md) - [Which robots can do a backflip?](/which-robots-can-do-a-backflip.md) - [Which company is the leader in humanoid robotics?](/which-company-leads-humanoid-robotics.md) - [What is the most advanced humanoid robot in 2026?](/what-is-the-most-advanced-humanoid-robot-in-2026.md) - [What is Elon Musk's robot?](/what-is-elon-musks-robot.md) - [Which humanoid robots are banned in the US?](/which-humanoid-robots-are-banned-in-the-us.md) - [What is the battery life of Optimus?](/what-is-the-battery-life-of-optimus.md) - [What AI runs humanoid robots?](/what-ai-runs-humanoid-robots.md) - [Which humanoid robots are deployed in factories?](/which-humanoid-robots-are-deployed-in-factories.md) - [Which robots are deployed in the most cities](/which-robots-are-deployed-in-the-most-cities.md) - [Which types of robots are deployed the most](/which-types-of-robots-are-deployed-the-most.md) - [How fast is humanoid robotics improving?](/how-fast-is-humanoid-robotics-improving.md) - [Can humanoid robots cook?](/can-humanoid-robots-cook.md) - [Can humanoid robots do laundry?](/can-humanoid-robots-do-laundry.md) - [What did Elon Musk promise about robots and when?](/what-did-elon-musk-promise-about-robots.md) - [Who are the people building humanoid robots?](/who-are-the-people-building-humanoid-robots.md) _API: GET /v1/models/170ba5d1-7c88-49b1-bd86-2e5350e05934 · canonical URL: /models/gene01_
