The Metamorphic Mechanisms Towards Mechanism Evolution, Embodied Intelligence, and the Structural Evolutionary Robotics

 

Professor Jian S Dai,

ASME Fellow, IEEE Fellow, FREng, MAE

 

Embodied intelligence is the ultimate form of artificial intelligence, serving as a bridge between artificial intelligence and the physical world. The development of artificial intelligence to this day requires corresponding bodies and structures to enable its intervention in the physical world. The embodied intelligence poses higher requirements, requiring transformation, evolution, and metamorphosis. Metamorphosis originated from artistic inspiration, developed from biology, and benefited from the structure of robots. This type of intelligent structures in the form of metamorphic mechanisms can be transformed and modified without decomposition or recombination, enabling different structure branches to be activated for different environments and different degrees of freedom to be activated for different tasks, thereby achieving efficiency, economy, and energy conservation. The embodied intelligent metamorphic robot adopts this variable structure, variable topology, and variable degree of freedom, integrating structural intelligence with algorithmic intelligence to create a perfect embodied intelligent robot. This plenary speech introduces the history, theory, development, and application of embodied intelligent metamorphic robots based on these principles, and provides application videos for various scenarios.
