Real Physical AI: Embedded Edge Intelligence & Industrial Automation

2026 is the year of Physical AI. With that understanding, what do engineers and developers need to know as they are handed mandates from above to ensure the next product launch can have that magic term on the box?


Physical AI is the application of AI and IoT tools to systems that directly interact with the real world. In this e-Book, there are discussions about how motor control is more important than ever in a world that can be and will be manipulated by machines operating independent of direct human control. Motor control has become critical infrastructure, if it wasn’t already, thanks to a wide variety of factors unique to Physical AI architecture.

In a Physical AI world, no matter how big or “complete” any data set is, there is no way to anticipate the unknown unknowns, and that is where safety problems live. This book discusses the safeguards, redundancies, and humans that need to be in the Physical AI systems loop while safeguarding AI at the Edge.

There is also an article about how Renesas is driving solutions in the power management and Edge AI sectors within Physical AI, and we outline a variety of tools and tactics for evolving Edge AI into Physical AI.
