Oversonic Robotics is an Italian robotics company specializing in cognitive [[humanoid robot]]s powered by [[artificial intelligence]]. Founded in 2020 by Fabio Puglia and Paolo Denti, the company is based in Besana Brianza (province of Monza and Brianza), [[Italy]], with additional offices in [[Milan]] and Rovereto ([[Trento]]). Oversonic is the first Italian robotics company to produce humanoid robots with cognitive artificial intelligence. Its flagship product, [[RoBee]], is the only humanoid robot certified for use in both industrial and healthcare sectors.
Oversonic Robotics was founded in 2020 by Fabio Puglia and Paolo Denti. Puglia, the company's president, holds a degree in Physics and Mathematics specializing in Astrophysics from the University of Milan. Denti, the CEO, graduated in Economic Statistics from the University of Padua with a Master's in International Marketing and Sales.[1]
The company was originally established as a software company specializing in cognitive computing systems applied to robotics, grounded in principles of culture and empathy. This software-first approach differentiated Oversonic from hardware-focused robotics companies.[2]
The [[RoBee]] humanoid robot entered the market in 2023, becoming the only humanoid robot to obtain the necessary certifications for operation in both industrial and healthcare environments.[1]
In 2025, Oversonic partnered with SolidWorld Group for global distribution of RoBee, expanding its commercial reach beyond Italy.[3]
In December 2025, Oversonic Robotics signed a landmark agreement with [[STMicroelectronics]] for the introduction of custom RoBee cognitive humanoid robots into the production and logistics processes of several ST plants globally. This marked the first time a company in the semiconductor sector operationally integrated cognitive humanoid robots into its factories.[4]
In January 2026, Oversonic officially launched RoBee in the US market, marking a significant step in the company's international expansion strategy.[5]
[[RoBee]] is Oversonic's flagship cognitive humanoid robot.

RoBee is designed to handle strenuous, repetitive, and harmful tasks, promoting both physical and psychological well-being of human workers. The robot functionally replicates the mechanical structure of the human body, utilizing movable joints and a comprehensive set of sensors that enable it to perceive and navigate its surrounding space.[2]
RoBee's sophisticated camera system, powered by artificial intelligence, enables it to:
RoBee holds unique dual certification for both industrial and healthcare applications. This is a significant competitive advantage, as most humanoid robots are certified for only one sector. The dual certification allows RoBee to be deployed across a wider range of environments without requiring separate regulatory approvals.[1]
Oversonic's technology stack is built on a cognitive AI foundation:
In December 2025, Oversonic signed an agreement with [[STMicroelectronics]] to deploy custom RoBee robots in production and logistics processes at multiple ST plants worldwide. This deployment represented a turning point in advanced manufacturing, as it was the first operational integration of cognitive humanoid robots in the semiconductor industry.[4]
RoBee is deployed in healthcare settings for tasks including patient assistance, facility navigation, and routine support tasks. The healthcare certification enables deployment in hospitals and care facilities where interaction with patients and medical staff is required.
