PADA

Physically Interactive AI and Infrastructure

Traditional AI often overlooks the importance of physical embodiment, including the dynamic interplay between the body, brain (AI), and environment, for effective data acquisition and real-world interaction. This project aims to address this limitation by developing bio-inspired physical limbed bodies for AI systems, enabling them to not only efficiently acquire data but also actively engage with and adapt to their surroundings, akin to “Living Machine-like AI”. This advancement will make AI more practical, efficient, and resilient for a wide range of real-world applications.
