The humanoid will be equipped with artificial intelligence as well as advanced manipulation, perception and vision capabilities dedicated to monitoring the welding seam, along with optimized locomotion to operate in complex environments, Fincantieri said. The system will prioritize safety, allowing collaboration with workers while fully complying with regulations and without limiting work areas.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration is expected to span four years, with a strong focus on rapid deployment in operational settings. However, initial on-site tests are scheduled as soon as the end of 2026, with the objective of making \u201coperational functionalities\u201d available within the first two years, followed by \u201cfurther refinement, expansion and industrial certification activities thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Development and testing activities will take place at Fincantieri\u2019s Sestri Ponente shipyard, which will serve as the reference environment for industrial&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterwaysjournal.net\/2026\/03\/13\/shipyards-integrating-artificial-intelligence-into-processes\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipyards Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into Processes https:\/\/www.waterwaysjournal.net\/2026\/03\/13\/shipyards-integrating-artificial-intelligence-into-processes\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-13 13:44:00 Source Domain: www.waterwaysjournal.net Could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":223267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.waterwaysjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/260316-Fincantieri-001.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-223266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223266"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223268,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223266\/revisions\/223268"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
