Embodied AI
AI that controls a physical or simulated body to perceive and act in an environment.
Definition
Embodied AI is AI that operates through a body — a robot or a simulated agent — perceiving its surroundings and taking physical actions, rather than only processing text or images. Learning from interaction with a real or virtual world is central to it, and it is a key step toward robots that handle the messy physical world.
