The Next Era of Physical AI

General-purpose humanoid robots are built to quickly adapt to existing human-centric urban and industrial work spaces, helping to tackle tedious, repetitive, or physically demanding tasks. 

These robots are finding their way from factory floors to healthcare facilities, where they’re assisting humans and helping alleviate labor shortages with automation.

However, building humanoid robots that can seamlessly collaborate with humans and other machines presents layers of complexities and engineering challenges. These include replicating human-like perception, degrees of freedom, dexterity, mobility, cognition, and whole body control. 

This demands accelerated progress in robotics research fields and technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, physics -based simulation, sensor technologies, and mechatronics.
