(Image credit: Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images) Artificial intelligence (AI) comes in many forms, from pattern recognition systems to generative AI . However, there’s another type of AI that can respond almost instantly to real-word data: embodied AI. But what exactly is this technology, and how does it work? Embodied AI typically combines sensors with machine learning to respond to real-world data. Examples include autonomous drones, self-driving cars and factory automation. Robotic vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers use a simplified form of embodied AI. These autonomous systems use AI to learn to navigate obstacles in the physical world. Most embodied AI uses an algorithmically encoded map that, in many ways, is akin to the mental map of London’s labyrinthine network of roads and landmarks used by the city’s taxi drivers. In […]
