Current edge AI can turn data from sensors into useful information, but it often misses the real 'intelligence' needed to act on that information effectively.
To create smarter systems, we need to integrate sensor data over time and build context-aware applications, not just rely on simple thresholds.
It's important to make advanced tools for building intelligent systems available to more engineers so that anyone can create solutions for real-world problems.
Nature used to feel more alive and connected, and it inspired our stories and spirituality. Many people believe that the natural world has a spirit, making it important to recognize its role in our lives.
Modern living spaces are often designed for practicality but can feel boring and unresponsive. We can use technology to make our environments more interactive and supportive, like a helpful friend.
Embedded AI offers a way to change our tools and devices to understand our needs better. This can help us regain a sense of ease and connection, making our daily lives less dependent on screens and more engaging.
Furby showcases the power of embodied intelligence in AI by being a purpose-built, fun, and engaging companion.
Building AI products with proper embodiment involves picking one job, using familiar cues for form and function, and ensuring the form supports and constrains the application.
The future of AI lies in ubiquitous, embodied intelligence, where AI tools fit specific needs well, remain offline-capable, and enhance our physical world.
