In recent years, embodied intelligence, as an important direction in the field of artificial intelligence, has experienced significant development and progress. Embodied intelligence refers to the ability of an agent (such as a robot, virtual assistant, etc.) to learn and develop its intelligence through interaction with the environment. This kind of intelligence not only relies on algorithms and data processing, but also emphasizes the importance of physical experience and interaction to the development of intelligence. In simple terms, embodied intelligence argues that the development and performance of intelligence depends not only on the processing of information in the brain or computing unit, but also on the dynamic interaction between the body and the environment. According to the prediction of market research institutions, the global embodied intelligence market will maintain a rapid growth trend in the next few years, and the market potential is huge, and it is expected to achieve several times or even dozens of times growth in the next ten years.
The Embodied Intelligence Development Report released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Co., Ltd. aims to clarify the core concept, development process and technical architecture of embodied intelligence from the perspective of artificial intelligence. By analyzing the current development status of embodied intelligence technology, the application potential and potential impact of it are evaluated, and the problems and challenges faced are pointed out. Finally, the future development direction of the integration of thinking intelligence and action intelligence is prospected. This paper will discuss the current status of embodied intelligence, analyze its possibilities in practical application, and provide insights on its future development by sorting out the concept definition, evolution path and technical system of embodied intelligence. The following China Exportsemi will disassemble the core content of the report:
The Concept and Connotation of Embodied Intelligence
The concept of embodied intelligence emphasizes that intelligence does not exist only in abstract algorithms or models, but is deeply rooted in the agent's body and its interaction with the environment. It believes that the form, perception, and mode of action of the body play a crucial role in the formation and development of intelligence. The core idea of embodied intelligence is that the agent perceives environmental information through the body's sensors, and then makes corresponding actions based on this information, and at the same time continuously learns and adapts in continuous interaction with the environment, so as to realize the emergence of intelligent behavior.
Connotation
Close integration of body and cognition: Embodied intelligence breaks the model of separation between cognition and body in traditional artificial intelligence, believing that the body is not only a tool to perform cognitive instructions, but also an important part of the cognitive process. The body's ability to perceive and act directly affects the way agents understand and perceive the world. For example, human beings obtain external information through various senses such as eyes, ears, and skin, and these information are processed by the brain and converted into action instructions, while the actions of the body will in turn affect our perception of the environment, forming a circular interactive process. Embodied intelligence attempts to simulate this close connection between the body and cognition in machines, enabling machines to learn and understand the world through physical experiences just like humans.

Environmental Interaction and Adaptability: Embodied intelligence emphasizes the dynamic interaction between agents and their environment. Instead of processing information in isolation, agents perceive changes in their environment in constant interaction with their surroundings and adjust their behavior accordingly. This adaptability allows agents to survive and thrive in different environments, with greater flexibility and robustness. For example, a robot with embodied intelligence can perform tasks under different terrain and lighting conditions, and adapt to various complex situations by constantly perceiving the environment and adjusting its own action strategies.
Experience-Based Learning and Development: Embodied agents learn and accumulate experience through actual experiences in their environment. They take data from their interactions with their environment and use that data to learn and optimize, gradually increasing their level of intelligence. This experience-based learning style is similar to the human learning process, where through continuous experimentation, making mistakes, and improving, the agent is able to gradually acquire a variety of skills and knowledge. For example, a robot that learns to walk can gradually learn how to maintain balance and walk steadily through the experience of falling down multiple times and adjusting its posture.
Multimodal information processing: Embodied intelligence involves the processing of multimodal information, that is, the comprehensive use of multiple sensory information such as sight, hearing, touch, and smell to understand the environment and make decisions. The information of different modalities complements each other to provide a more comprehensive and accurate description of the environment for the agent. For example, when humans recognize an object, they can not only visually observe its shape and color, but also feel its texture and temperature through touch, and judge whether it makes a sound through hearing. Embodied intelligence systems also try to fuse these multimodal information to achieve more intelligent perception and decision-making capabilities.
