In a historical context marked by the need to evolve towards more adaptive, flexible and autonomous robotic systems, Physical Artificial Intelligence enables robots to perceive, interpret and act autonomously in dynamic and complex business environments.

With the aim of assessing the impact of Physical Artificial Intelligence on industrial robotics, the report “The robotics engine of the future in the era of Industry 5.0” provides an overview of emerging trends and the challenges surrounding Physical Artificial Intelligence. Through real-world examples, it examines the application of AI in three research areas (manipulation and perception, mobile robotics, and cognitive robotics), showing how this new generation of robotic systems is driving significant advances across these three major fields and transforming the way machines interact with their environment and with people.

The report explores the impact of Physical Artificial Intelligence across different industrial sectors and identifies the challenges that will need to be addressed in the coming years, such as the standardisation and certification of autonomous systems, cybersecurity, and algorithm transparency.
