KI -gesteuerte Roboter schreiben das Werksregelbuch neu – dies sind Maschinen, die mit KI eingebettet sind, etwas, das wir jetzt physische KI bezeichnen, und verhalten sich mit zunehmenden Mengen an Beweglichkeit und Autonomie.

From the article

We are entering a new industrial revolution, the *cognitive industrial revolution*, where manufacturing is again being transformed through the growing use of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), advanced robots, data, digital twins, and the internet-of-things (IoT). This revolution builds on the progress of the past by further automating, optimizing, and integrating intelligence into every aspect of production. It’s an unparalleled economic disruption that will require timely knowledge and investment by leaders.

At the leading edge of this revolution is the increasing adoption of robots. But these aren’t the robots of the past. These are machines embedded with AI, something we now call *physical AI*, and behave with increasing amounts of agility and autonomy.

A lot of us find robots fascinating and it’s probably because they occupy an outsized role in contemporary science fiction literature and movies. For many, a combination of the Daleks from BBC’s Doctor Who, and the droids, C3PO and R2D2 from Star Wars, form some early impressions. These narrow representations of robots probably limited our views of what role they could play in real life.

The term robot means, surprisingly, but perhaps aptly, *forced labor,* and it’s derived from the Czech word, Robota, first used in Karel Capek’s 1920’s play, “Rossum’s Universal Robots.”
