AI's next frontier

AI is moving into the physical world, helping to turn humanoids, self-driving cars and other robotic applications from science fiction to reality.

AI transforming the physical world

AI has already transformed the digital economy. Its next frontier is more tangible. The technology is being embedded in an increasing number of machines that can sense, move, and operate in a physical space.

Physical AI combines advanced computing models with sophisticated hardware: sensors, actuators (which convert electrical signals into physical motion), processors and machine vision. Together, they create robots and autonomous systems that can operate safely and productively in real environments.
