"Building Computing Systems for Embodied Artificial Intelligence"

Dr. Shaoshan LIU (Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society (AIRS)) 


Abstract

Embodied AI integrates artificial intelligence into physical systems, enabling robots to perceive, learn, and interact with dynamic environments. However, its development faces key computing challenges: integrating diverse functions like perception and control into cohesive software, processing multimodal sensor data in real time under energy and concurrency constraints, and overcoming data scarcity due to the difficulty of collecting diverse real-world robotic interactions. To address these issues, a layered software architecture is proposed to abstract hardware complexity, streamline function integration, and support foundational AI models. A novel computing architecture enhances efficiency through synchronized sensor fusion, dataflow accelerators, and hardware-software co-design, enabling real-time AI execution on edge devices. Additionally, design automation leverages synthetic data and digital twin simulations to train models in virtual environments, minimizing reliance on extensive physical data collection. Together, these approaches aim to enhance the flexibility, efficiency, and scalability of embodied AI systems.

"Empowering the Future of Embodied AI"

Mr. Mark MOK (ACCESS)


Abstract

HarbourTek aims to advance embodied AI, combining artificial intelligence and chip technologies to create intelligent systems. The development focus is on developing energy-efficient edge computing devices for large AI models, addressing challenges like real-time computing, privacy, and cost. Existing devices, like GPUs, are power-hungry and costly. To overcome these challenges, HarbourTek leverages software-hardware co-design, model compression techniques, and advanced digital in-memory computing technology. The goal is to create flexible and configurable systems for embodied AI applications, enhancing performance, energy efficiency, and adaptability.
