Abstract: The tremendous impact of large models represented by ChatGPT [1]–[3] makes it necessary to consider the practical applications of such models [4]. However, for an artificial intelligence (AI) to truly evolve, it needs to possess a physical “body” to transition from the virtual world to the real world and evolve through interaction with the real environments. In this context, “embodied intelligence” has sparked a new wave of research and technology, leading AI beyond the digital realm into a new paradigm that can actively act and perceive in a physical environment through tangible entities such as robots and automated devices [5].
