Physical AI, also known as embodied AI, involves AI systems controlling and learning from physical hardware like robotic arms, mobile robots, and medical devices. In healthcare, this can include surgical robots that learn to perform precise procedures, rehabilitation robots that adapt to each patient’s needs, and personal health assistants to passively monitor health data and actively assist patients.

CAAI has integrated multi-modal AI models, robotic platforms, and sensor devices, to bring AI into the real-world. Our Temi robot is capable of navigating complex environments like hospitals to assist in patient way finding and patrol patient rooms. Making use of onboard devices, the robot allows models to see, speak, listen, and with the addition of a Smart Nanotubes VOC sensor, smell within its operating environment
