What is physical AI?
Physical AI brings intelligence into systems that sense and act in the physical world. Information about the environment informs a response through a robot or another physical product.
For morph, that means connecting soft robotic cells with sensing, embedded intelligence and adaptive control. The product’s physical design and control behavior are developed together, around a defined task.
Contact, pressure and movement can become inputs. Software interprets those inputs, and coordinated actuation changes the product’s physical state.
Develop the response around the task.
- 01 / Sense
Define the useful inputs.
Identify the physical information the product needs: contact, pressure or movement. Consider where that information comes from and how it relates to the required behavior.
- 02 / Interpret
Connect input to control.
Develop the embedded software and control behavior around the cells and their arrangement. Coordinate how the system should respond as its inputs change.
- 03 / Adapt
Act through the material.
Use soft actuation to change the physical state of the product. Evaluate the response in simulation, then refine the design and controls together.
Connect intelligence to the physical design.
The shape and material of a soft robotic cell influence how it responds. Sensing and control need to work with that behavior, making the physical structure and software parts of the same development problem.
morph brings design and simulation together with the foundry’s manufacturing and integration work. Teams can explore geometry, materials and actuation in the platform, then use physical testing to inform further development.
We start with your application and its constraints, then agree on the behavior and how it will be evaluated. Integration brings the cells, sensing and control into the wider product.
What should your product respond to?
Bring your application, the physical inputs that matter and the response you want to achieve. We can scope the sensing, actuation and integration work with your team.
