Embodied AI

Terms

6 terms

  • Embodied agent

    An embodied agent is an AI system with a physical or simulated body that perceives, decides and acts through sensors and actuators in a real environment.

  • Imitation learning

    Imitation learning trains a robot policy from expert demonstrations, letting embodied AI systems acquire skills without hand-written rewards or code.

  • Physical AI

    Physical AI is artificial intelligence that perceives, reasons about and acts in the physical world through robots, vehicles and other machines.

  • Sim-to-real

    Sim-to-real is the practice of training robot policies in simulation and transferring them to physical robots while closing the gap between both worlds.

  • Vision-language-action model

    A vision-language-action model is a robot policy that maps camera images and a natural-language instruction directly to motor actions in embodied AI.

  • World model

    A world model in embodied AI is a learned internal model that predicts how a robot's environment will change in response to its actions.
