Physical Artificial Intelligence In The Real World: Transforming Work and Everyday Life For Businesses
About This Course
Understand and apply Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI) to real-world business operations without technical expertise.
Physical AI is becoming a part of everyday life. From smart home devices and workplace automation to delivery robots and AI-powered sensors. But what does it really mean for business? And how can working professionals understand and apply physical AI without technical expertise?
Designed for business professionals with no prior background in AI or robotics, the programme explores how Physical AI is transforming modern operations through technologies such as computer vision, smart sensors, and edge devices. Participants will examine real-world applications including automated checkout, quality inspection, safety monitoring, energy optimisation, predictive maintenance, and inventory optimisation.
Participants will also take part in a simple yet powerful hands-on lab using Google Teachable Machine, where they will train a simple computer vision model with just a laptop and webcam. By the end of the course, participants will gain clear insight into how Physical AI systems sense, think and act in the real world and where they can add value to organisations, all without any coding or technical background.
