Physical AI in practice: Technical foundations that fuel human-machine interactions

In our previous post, Transforming the physical world with AI: the next frontier in intelligent automation, we explored how the field of physical AI is redefining a wide range of industries including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. Now, we turn our attention to the complete development lifecycle behind this technology – the process of creating intelligent systems that don’t just follow instructions, but truly partner with humans by collaborating, anticipating requirements, and actively driving toward common objectives.

To illustrate this workflow in action, we’ll explore how Diligent Robotics applies physical AI principles to develop mobile robots that assist clinical teams in hospital settings. We’ll also share key considerations for business leaders looking to implement physical AI solutions that can improve both their operations and customer experiences.
