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.
