Building Embodied AI Systems: The Agents, the Architecture: The Agents, the Architecture Principles, Challenges, and Application Domains

This book is primed to demystify the emerging and evolving trend of embodied systems. It explains how these unique systems facilitate establishing smarter environments such as multi-specialty hospitals, manufacturing floors, warehouses, retail stores, defense zones, eating joints, entertainment plazas, etc., in detail for the benefit of our esteemed readers. To get a complete and actionable understanding of any mission-critical environment, we must deploy embodied systems. These systems, such as robots, drones, etc., are physical entities that are embedded and empowered with software systems. They interact with the environment in real time, providing context-aware services. There are chapters exclusively delineating the technologies behind the realization and deployment of such enigmatic systems. The prominent industrial use cases are explained in the latter chapters.
