Embodied artificial intelligence (AI) refers to AI systems that are integrated into physical entities, such as robots, drones, or other devices, enabling them to interact with the physical world. These systems use sensors, actuators, and other hardware to perceive, process, and act within real-world contexts. Embodied AI is capable of performing physical actions, learning from its environment, and adapting to changes, making it more similar to human-like intelligence, where perception and action are closely interconnected.
The main products in embodied AI include robots, exoskeletons, autonomous systems, and smart appliances. Robots are programmable machines designed to perform tasks autonomously with minimal human input. The core technologies driving these products include machine learning, deep learning, robotic perception, and various hardware components. These products are used across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, industrial automation and manufacturing, automotive, logistics and supply chain, defense and security, retail, education, and more.

The embodied artificial intelligence (AI) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.73 billion in 2024 to $3.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for human-robot interaction, a rising need for automation, growing investments in robotics, the rising popularity of virtual assistants, and the growing interest in smart environments.
The embodied artificial intelligence (AI) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.32 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing availability of advanced sensors and edge computing, the rising demand for personalized assistants, the growing need for elderly care solutions, the rising demand for real-time data processing, and the growing interest in autonomous drones. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of AI with robotics platforms, advancements in machine learning algorithms, the development of multimodal AI systems, and the integration of embodied AI in autonomous vehicles.
The growing demand for automation in various industries is expected to drive the growth of the embodied artificial intelligence (AI) market in the coming years. Automation involves using technology and control systems to perform tasks without human intervention, with the goal of improving efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. The rising demand for automation is largely due to labor shortages, as many industries face difficulties in finding skilled workers. This has prompted businesses to invest in automated systems to maintain productivity and reduce reliance on human labor. Embodied artificial intelligence enhances automation by integrating physical presence and sensory perception, enabling machines to interact with and adapt to their environment in real-time, making autonomous decision-making more efficient. For example, in September 2023, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit, reported that industrial robot installations reached a record 290,258 units in 2023, marking a 5% growth over the previous record set in 2021. Thus, the increasing demand for automation is driving the expansion of the embodied artificial intelligence (AI) market.
Leading companies in the embodied artificial intelligence (AI) market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as semi-humanoid embodied AI service robots, to improve human-robot interaction and automation across different sectors. A semi-humanoid embodied AI service robot is designed with human-like features and capabilities, utilizing artificial intelligence to perform specific tasks or services in real-world environments, with partial human-like appearance and interaction abilities. For instance, in March 2025, Pudu Robotics, a China-based commercial robotics company, launched FlashBot Arm, a robot capable of performing complex delivery and manipulation tasks autonomously in commercial settings, thus enhancing operational efficiency and user interaction. This robot features two 7-degree-of-freedom robotic arms and 11-degree-of-freedom hands, enabling it to perform precise tasks such as pressing buttons, grasping objects, and making autonomous deliveries, with an operational reach of up to 2 meters. It integrates advanced embodied AI for real-time perception, decision-making, multimodal interaction, high-precision sensors, and full-body control, making it highly adaptable and safe for commercial environments such as hotels, offices, and healthcare facilities.
In April 2024, Sanctuary Cognitive Systems Corporation, a Canada-based robotics company specializing in embodied AI, formed a partnership with Magna International Inc. to develop embodied AI robots. This collaboration aims to integrate advanced humanoid robots into the automotive manufacturing process, improving operational efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. By combining Sanctuary's AI-driven robots with Magna's engineering and manufacturing expertise, this partnership seeks to optimize production workflows and address labor shortages. Magna International Inc. is a Canada-based mobility technology company focused on designing, engineering, and manufacturing automotive parts and systems.
