Technological Impact Workshop (Physical AI and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT))

Presenter: Kriv Naicker

Title: Physical AI and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)

Abstract: This session explores the transformative convergence of the Physical AI and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). Moving beyond AI that simply generates digital insights, the discussion focuses on "Embodied Intelligence" - the moment the digital mind gains a physical body to sense, reason and act autonomously in our real-world environments. Participants will examine the Synaptec Sense-Reason-Act framework which bridges the gap between perfect computer simulations and messy reality by integrating intelligent infrastructure with robotic actuators to enable safe, adaptive, and real-time interaction with the physical world. To bring these concepts to life, the session includes an activity challenge where attendees will apply these principles to solve a real-world edge case. By combining the connectivity of IoT with the reasoning power of advanced models, this session highlights how systems are evolving into intelligent actors capable of everything from predictive maintenance to high-dexterity tasks.

Date:

This Technological Impact Workshop will run on Tuesday 18th August from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and include a tea / coffee break.
