The Race to Build a Robot That Thinks: What’s Happening at the Physical AI Frontier | Intel Business

Опубликовано 22 мая 2026, 16:36

Somewhere between a robotic arm that flips burgers and a humanoid that can navigate a hospital, there's a raging debate about how robots should think — and which approach will actually win in the real world. The answer isn't settled yet, and the people closest to the frontier have a front-row seat to how it's unfolding.

Filmed at Embedded World 2026, Intel sits down with Trossen Robotics, a company sitting at the nexus of hardware, software, and machine learning research for one of the most technically fascinating conversations of the show. With universities and engineers worldwide using their platforms to test cutting-edge models, Trossen has a unique window into where physical AI is heading before the rest of the world sees it.

The conversation dives deep into the rapid evolution of Vision-Language-Action models, the two competing philosophies dividing the robotics AI community right now, and why the bottleneck holding everything back might not be the one you'd expect. There's also a candid take on what Intel's latest platform means for robotics developers and practical advice for anyone just getting started that could save months of wasted effort.

If you want to understand where the intelligence inside robots is actually heading, this is the conversation to watch.
