About This Book
This comprehensive guide explores Physical AI and Embodied Intelligence, covering the complete pipeline from voice command to robotic action. You'll learn how to build autonomous humanoid robots using modern AI techniques.
The book is structured around four core modules that form the foundation of embodied AI systems. Each module builds upon the previous one to provide a complete understanding of humanoid robotics.
