AI is evolving to have a physical presence, able to move, act, and perceive the physical world, and be accountable for its actions.
The shift is happening now, moving AI from passive suggestions to active engagement in the world, impacting software development, agency, collaboration, and responsibility.
Embodied AI involves integrating reasoning engines into physical bodies like robots, warehouse arms, drones, or virtual avatars in spatial computing environments, enabling interaction-based learning.
Stanford's 2019 survey highlighted how perception, action, and learning combine in embodied AI agents.
