The evolution of physical AI: From controlled environments to the real world

Physical AI is transitioning from controlled factory settings to dynamic real-world environments, enabling robots to sense, reason, and respond in real time. Arm's compute platform supports these systems by efficiently handling vision, motion planning, and AI inference within power constraints. Examples include humanoid robots from AGIBOT and quadrupeds from Deep Robotics, which operate autonomously in complex settings.

“AI-driven productivity gains projected to increase global GDP by around 4% over the next decade.” — Arm
