Key Takeaways
- Beyond Text: Physical AI relies on real-time spatial reasoning rather than just token prediction.
- Hardware Constraints: Actuator latency introduces challenges absent in purely digital systems.
- Market Dynamics: Localized pragmatism is reshaping the cost curve against Western R&D giants.
