Wearable Robotics: Integrating Robotics and Biomedical Technologies
Physical AI focuses on artificial intelligence systems that directly interact with the real world through robot systems.
Unlike information-based AI, physical interaction in real environments cannot be described as a simple input–output relationship, as it inherently involves forces, contact, stability, and system dynamics.
As a result, purely data-driven or learning-centric approaches face fundamental limitations when applied to real-world Physical AI systems.
We believe that these limitations do not stem from a lack of computational power or learning algorithms, but rather from an insufficient structural understanding of physical interaction and human motion.
Human movement is generated through a hierarchical process that begins with intention and decision-making and is realized through the body’s physical structure and reflexive control,
allowing stable behavior even in complex and uncertain environments.
Understanding Humans, Creating Real Technology reflects our vision of adopting this human-centered perspective as a foundational principle for developing practical and reliable Physical AI.
Mission 1: Human–Robot Integrated Simulation and AI
Based on this vision, we define Mission 1: Human–Robot Integrated Simulation and AI, which aims to understand humans and robots as a unified physical system and to model human intention and interaction in a physically meaningful manner. This mission focuses on establishing a fundamental framework for interpreting human–robot interaction beyond observable motion alone.
Mission 2: Real Physical AI, Inspired by the Human Motion Control System
Likewise, we pursue Mission 2: Real Physical AI, Inspired by the Human Motion Control System, which aims to realize Physical AI systems capable of operating reliably in real environments. By combining control system design with AI in a structured and principled manner, this mission seeks to develop Physical AI that can robustly handle physical interaction with both humans and the environment.
