Robotics / Concepts and practice
From robotics concepts to practical use.
Understand Physical AI, humanoids, cobots, robot vision, teleoperation and simulation. Connect robotics concepts to platform selection and practical pilot questions.
Physical AI
Physical AI describes artificial intelligence that processes information about a physical environment and helps control robots or other physical systems.
Explanation and uses →Embodied AI
Embodied AI studies agents that perceive and act on an environment through a physical body or a simulated embodiment.
Explanation and uses →Humanoid robot
A humanoid robot has a human-inspired body, such as a torso, arms and, on some platforms, two legs. Its shape does not determine its level of autonomy.
Explanation and uses →Cobot
Cobot is a term for a robot intended for collaborative applications. Collaboration safety is assessed for the complete workplace, not just the robot arm.
Explanation and uses →Mobile manipulator
A mobile manipulator combines a moving base with an arm or another manipulation mechanism. It can change work locations and physically interact with objects.
Explanation and uses →Robot vision
Robot vision converts image or depth data into information for a robotic task, such as an object position or an inspection result.
Explanation and uses →Teleoperation
Teleoperation means a person controls a robot through an interface. The operator may be separated from the robot by distance or a protective barrier.
Explanation and uses →Sim-to-real
Sim-to-real is the transfer of methods or models developed in simulation to a real system. It aims to use simulation while accounting for differences from reality.
