The AI revolution started with text (prompts), and quickly expanded to image, sound, music… AI is already multimodal, and very soon AI-powered autonomous agents will expand into our electronic devices: smartwatches, smartphones, vehicle infotainment systems, and connected appliances.
The next frontier? Giving AI a physical body that can interact in the real world. Although years of technological development remain before we reach the robotic imagery of science fiction movies, prototypes already exist that anticipate what could be a future where androids and humans coexist naturally.
Here is a video of the Ameca prototype: for now it is not much more than a sophisticated puppet, but Ameca can be connected to an AI model trained for complex tasks.
