Physical AI: Robotics Sensing Platforms

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. The Temi robot navigates complex environments like hospitals to assist in patient wayfinding and patrol patient rooms. With the 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.
