From Digital Hype to Physical Reality
ABSTRACT
Robotics, AI, Physical AI – the list is endless, but the promise is real as are the applications. Products like robot vacuums, autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots are in the market, being brought to market, and are being conceptualized every day. The impact that these technologies can have on life is enormous with the potential to revolutionize manufacturing, transportation and even aspects of our daily domestic life. We’ll look at what have been some of the core enablers such as sensors and computing, what could be the limiting factors to supercharge the development and adoption of robotics, AI and physical AI in our world. We’ll also touch upon the growth opportunities and the potential markets where these technologies will have the most impact over the next few years and what we can all be doing to impact the development and deployment of these technologies.
