What is physical AI?

Physical AI refers to moving models out of software and into physical systems such as robots, machines and production lines. These systems need to sense their surroundings, assess the situation and act accordingly.

What AWS is offering

Amazon launched the Physical AI Toolchain on AWS, an open-source stack. According to the company, the stack helps manufacturers build machines that perceive, reason and act in the real world.

Why it matters

Physical AI connects cloud infrastructure with factory and field hardware. By open-sourcing the toolchain, AWS lets manufacturers use this infrastructure directly when building their own machines.
