3. What is Embodied AI?
Why it Matters
Bridges the gap between virtual intelligence
and physical reality.
Enables AI to solve complex, real-world
problems.
Improves industries like healthcare, logistics,
and personal assistance.
Embodied AI refers to artificial intelligence integrated into physical
systems that perceive, reason, and act in the real world.
Core Features
Perception: Collecting data from the
environment through sensors (e.g., cameras,
microphones, lidar).
Reasoning: Analyzing the data and making
decisions using AI algorithms.
Action: Executing physical tasks via
actuators or robotics (e.g., walking, gripping,
interacting).
