Embodied AI is particularly at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, industry and Factory 4.0. The special feature of embodied AI is that artificial intelligence not only thinks, but also "acts" in a physical body. This means that an AI interacts with the real world via a robot or other machines, for example by grasping, driving or navigating.
In contrast to traditional software AI, which merely analyses data or gathers experience from digital environments, embodied AI learns directly from real experiences in physical space. A common example is a robot in a factory that uses embodied AI to independently recognise how it needs to grip, turn and pass on a product - just like a human. This allows it to adapt to new products or changing work processes without having to be reprogrammed each time.
Embodied AI ensures greater flexibility and efficiency in automation processes. It relieves people of monotonous but also dangerous tasks and allows machines to "think" and "feel" - a big step for the smart industry of the future.
