PersonaAI (CEO Yoo Seung-jae) will participate in 2026 STK (Smart Tech Korea), to be held from June 10 to 12 at COEX in Seoul, and showcase AI robot technologies targeting the era of physical AI. As competition in AI is moving beyond generative AI toward systems that operate in real industrial sites and physical environments, PersonaAI is expected, through this exhibition, to present new possibilities created by the convergence of AI and robotics.

At STK 2026, PersonaAI is focusing on physical AI, regarded as the next stage of AI technology, and will unveil humanoid and quadruped robots developed through joint research among Korea, the United States, and China. In May, PersonaAI conducted a public demonstration of an AI robot equipped with its proprietary AI engine, and at this event it will again demonstrate voice-recognition-based intelligent robot technology.

The solutions to be unveiled go beyond simple conversational AI or data analytics to provide intelligent systems that, when combined with robots, can be immediately applied in various industrial settings such as manufacturing, logistics, and services. As AI evolves from operating in a software-centered virtual world to functioning in real physical spaces, the industry is paying close attention to PersonaAI’s latest move.

PersonaAI has embedded (on-device) its SSTT (Sovereign AI Speech to Text) voice model, capable of recognizing regional dialects, inside the robots, thereby achieving both fast response times and high security. Furthermore, it has optimized its proprietary AI models, including LAM, VLA, and sLLM, for the robot OS. Through this, the company aims to lead the emerging market for “agentic robots” that can autonomously assess situations on-site and act immediately, thereby setting a new standard for industrial automation. This indicates that the focus of AI competition is shifting beyond mere intelligence to technologies that precisely control the real world.

STK 2026 is a leading domestic exhibition where next-generation technologies such as AI, robotics, manufacturing automation, distribution, security, and quantum technology are brought together, and it will be held across the entire COEX venue. This year’s event is drawing attention as a platform to observe how AI technology is transforming industries across the board. PersonaAI’s participation suggests that this exhibition goes beyond a simple technology showcase and signals the start of full-scale commercialization and market leadership competition in “physical AI.”

Industry observers expect that “through STK 2026, PersonaAI will highlight the practical applicability of AI robots and strengthen its presence as one of the companies opening the physical AI era.”
