US tech firms race to develop physical AIーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS
Artificial intelligence is already transforming our lives. Uh physical AI is the next step in its development. Robots with the new technology can respond to realworld challenges and perform complex uh complex tasks autonomously. In the first segment of our two-part AI series, Energ World’s Shinoya reports on the latest advances in the United States. The robots in this warehouse can handle a wide range of tasks. They can distinguish items by size or shape and even unload or transport goods. They are powered by physical AI. Developers say the artificial intelligence has learned to understand physical laws like gravity and friction through simulation. And now this technology enables the robots to deal with changes in the real world environment. The new technology was in the spotlight at this event held by US semiconductor giant and video ability to understand the physical world. The three-dimensional world is what’s going to enable a new era of AI we call physical AI and it’s going to enable robotics. Some robots use physical AI to monitor energy related facilities. Others are being developed to serve households. They can care for plants and clean up rooms and some will utilize the technology to work in theme parks. Physical AI is seen as the next step for generative AI and various tech farms are racing to develop the technology. You need a a brain for the robot and the brain is built from physical AI then results in a brain that we can put in the actual robot and uh now it’s a very exciting time. Search driving is one field with high hopes for the latest advances in physical AI. This startup in the US state of California is developing AI for next generation autonomous driving. These are images used to train the AI brain. AI generated synthetic image data using actual photos and videos can replicate rare situations to be simulated. The startup says physical AI’s understanding of what can happen in the real world can increase the safety of autonomous driving. If there’s some scenario that happens very rarely like you know once in 10,000 miles in the in the real world that’s very expensive to get that one example. But if in simulation we can say just focus on simulating this one scenario over and over again. Physical AI can bring even more convenience to our daily lives. But it is uncertain how future uses will reshape our society. NHK
Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform our lives. And US tech firms are racing to develop “physical AI” — the next step enabling robots to respond to real-world changes and act autonomously. #business #technology #ai #usa
