"Beyond AI-enabled refrigerators and smart glasses, the transformative story of this year's show actually had an enterprise bent: the arrival of physical AI. That's the kind of AI that makes robots smart and that makes autonomous cars safe for the road. (Though robots and cars are the most visible part of the physical AI picture, they're also the smallest.) The bigger impact of physical AI is in large-scale industrial applications."
"And why stop at assembly lines? Why not treat an entire factory as one giant robot? In fact, why stop at a single factory when you can look at the entire supply chain - all the factories, all the partners and suppliers, perhaps even the customers. Say, for example, a bumper falls off one of the specialized industrial vehicles made by the Oshkosh Corporation. "You can have traceability," Jay Iyengar, the company's executive vice president, CTO, and strategic sourcing officer, told Computerworld."
AI surfaced broadly across consumer and enterprise products at CES, with a notable emphasis on physical AI that makes robots and autonomous vehicles smarter and safer. Physical AI scales into industrial contexts where assembly lines act as networks of smaller robots and entire factories can be orchestrated as single automated systems. Multiple factories and suppliers can be integrated into AI-driven supply chains, improving visibility and component traceability. Enhanced visibility allows detection of manufacturing issues and enables AI-powered systems to autonomously or semi-autonomously take corrective actions. Adoption will be incremental as companies decide which systems to update to AI.
