embodied agents

Embodied agents are intelligent systems that have a physical presence, such as robots or virtual avatars, allowing them to perceive and interact with their environment through sensors and actuators. Unlike software-only programs, embodied agents can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and perform actions in the real world or simulated spaces. This physical embodiment enables more natural, intuitive interactions and helps the agent understand context, purpose, and spatial relationships, making them useful in tasks like caregiving, manufacturing, or personal assistance.
