Embodied AI
AI that perceives, decides and acts through a physical body.
In plain language
Embodied AI connects models to robots, covering perception, motion control, planning and real-time safety. Unlike software-only AI, it faces real-world noise, latency and irreversible consequences. Data collection and simulation are key bottlenecks.
Example
A humanoid robot moves boxes in a warehouse from a natural-language instruction.
