　　BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The world's first universal embodied artificial intelligence (AI) platform that supports multiple body types and scenarios was launched in Beijing Wednesday. It was expected to accelerate the integration of smart technologies into real world and the development of robotics, autonomous driving, and human-machine interaction.

　　The platform, dubbed “Huisi Kaiwu,“ was developed by Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robots, which was jointly established by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Beijing Municipal Government, as well as enterprises and research institutions in the robotics sector.

　　Embodied AI integrates AI into physical bodies such as robots to enable them to perceive, learn and dynamically interact with the environment like humans. Relying on computation and logical reasoning, it can continuously learn, adapt and complete tasks by perception, action and environmental feedback, thus improving autonomy and practical application in real world.

　　In addition to humanoid robots, other hardware with interactive capabilities, such as autonomous driving vehicles and wearable devices, can also serve as bodies of embodied AI.

　　According to Tang Jian, the chief technical officer of the center, it is vital for a humanoid robot to have a “brain,“ the part capable of natural interaction, spatial perception, understanding of intention, hierarchical planning, and error reflection.
