The Role of Motor Control in Physical AI

Rich Nass

March 16, 2026

Physical AI is a term that’s in vogue right now. It refers to the application of AI to systems that directly interact with and influence the physical world. Unlike Cloud-based AI models that analyze data and produce insights, physical AI closes the loop between perception, decision-making, and actuation. It senses its environment, processes that data locally or at the Edge, and then potentially drives such equipment as motors, valves, pumps, or actuators. In short, it turns algorithms into action.

How BASE-AU Enables High-Speed Optical Camera Links in Next-Generation Vehicles

Pablo Blázquez

March 5, 2026

The transition toward centralized and zonal vehicle architectures is placing new demands on how camera data is transported inside the vehicle. High-resolution optical cameras generate continuous multigigabit data streams that must be delivered reliably to domain controllers and central compute units. Existing in-vehicle network technologies, originally designed for lower data rates, are increasingly becoming a bottleneck.

This is where BASE-AU, the automotive-grade optical Ethernet standard defined under IEEE 802.3cz, comes into play.
