AI Sees Rising Use in Packaging Sector, PMMI Says
Embodied artificial intelligence is reshaping robotics by applying large neural networks to perception, planning, and manipulation. Advances in data collection—through real‑world demos, simulation, and video mining—are addressing the historic shortage of training material for physical tasks. Coupled with cheaper, less precise hardware, AI can compensate for tolerances, dramatically lowering robot costs. The convergence promises adaptive robots that could disrupt warehousing, food service, senior care, and small‑batch manufacturing.
