When we hear “AI,” we often think of conversational chatbots or image generators—intelligent systems that exist purely in the digital realm. But what happens when this intelligence is given a physical form that can see, touch, and interact with the real world? This is the domain of embodied artificial intelligence. Daimon Robotics is at the forefront of this field, building systems where AI doesn’t just think; it acts.
From Virtual Mind to Physical Action
Traditional AI operates in a constrained, digital environment. Its world is made of data. Embodied artificial intelligence, however, exists in the complex and unpredictable physical world. For an embodied AI, intelligence is not just about processing information; it’s about using that information to perform physical tasks. This requires a continuous loop of perception, reasoning, and action. The robot must perceive its environment through sensors, reason about what to do, execute an action, and then perceive the results of that action to adjust its next move. This is the core of true physical intelligence, moving beyond simple pre-programmed movements to adaptive, learned behavior.
The Daimon Approach: Building the VTLA Bridge
Daimon Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. is building the essential bridge for embodied AI through its focus on high-resolution multimodal tactile sensing systems and advanced dexterous hand solutions. The key is the deep integration of AI with robotics to create what we call Vision-Tactile-Language-Action (VTLA) manipulation models. This approach fuses multiple senses. While vision provides a broad overview, our high-resolution tactile sensors give the robot a detailed “sense of touch,” allowing it to feel an object’s texture, slip, and delicate contact forces. This tactile feedback is crucial for handling fragile items or performing precise tasks. Language models can then translate high-level commands, like “gently unscrew the cap,” into the complex sequence of physical actions required. This multimodal fusion is what enables truly intelligent and dexterous manipulation, turning a simple gripper or a sophisticated dexterous hand into a skilled tool.
Real-World Impact: The Intelligent Laboratory
This technology moves from concept to critical application in fields like laboratory automation. In a smart biochemical lab, an embodied AI system equipped with Daimon’s technology does more than just move test tubes. Using multimodal tactile-visual fusion, it can perceive the tube’s size, weight, and status. It can manipulate hazardous reagents and fragile samples with a delicate and precise grip, significantly improving experiment efficiency while keeping human workers safe from biochemical contamination. This is a clear example of how embodied intelligence is not just a theoretical idea but a practical solution that transforms workflows and enhances safety.
Conclusion
The fundamental difference between AI and embodied AI is physical interaction. Embodied AI brings intelligence into the real world, enabling machines to perform complex physical tasks. Daimon is driving this revolution by developing the core technologies—tactile sensors, dexterous hands, and the VTLA model—that allow AI to not only understand the world but also to skillfully manipulate it. Our mission is to unlock this revolutionary potential, transforming work environments and paving the way for a new generation of intelligent robots.
