With the rapid development of artificial intelligence today, decentralized physical artificial intelligence (DePAI) is providing a completely new solution to control robots and physical artificial intelligence infrastructure. From real-world data acquisition to intelligent robotic operations based on decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) deployment, the development of DePAI is steadily advancing. As Nvidia CEO Hwang Jong-hon predicted: " The ChatGPT moment in the field of universal robots is coming soon."

Looking back at the technological development history, the digital age initially started with hardware and then expanded to the invisible software field. The era of artificial intelligence started with software and is now advancing towards the ultimate territory of the physical world.

In a world where robots, smart cars, drones and robots that are about to be run by autonomous physical artificial intelligence agents are gradually replacing traditional labor, the issue of ownership of these smart devices has become a social issue that cannot be ignored. At a time when centralized players have not yet fully dominated the market, DePAI provides a rare opportunity to establish a physical artificial intelligence system based on Web3.

Data collection

At present, DePAI's infrastructure is accelerating and improving, among which the data acquisition level is the most active . This level not only provides the real-world data required for training to the physical AI agents on the robot, but also transmits the data streams required for environmental navigation and task execution in real time.

However, obtaining high-quality real-world data remains the main bottleneck restricting the development of physical artificial intelligence . Although Nvidia's Omniverse and Cosmos provide innovative solutions through simulated environments, synthetic data is only part of the entire ecosystem, remote operation and real-world video data are equally indispensable.

Remote operation

In the field of remote operations, Frodobots is deploying economical delivery robots worldwide through DePIN. During operation, these robots can not only capture human decision-making behaviors in the real environment and create high-value data sets, but also effectively solve the problem of insufficient capital investment.

Through the virtuous cycle mechanism driven by tokens, DePIN is accelerating the deployment process of data acquisition devices and robots . For robot companies that want to improve sales performance while reducing capital expenditure and operating costs, DePIN has significant advantages over the traditional model.

Video data application

In terms of video data application, DePAI can make full use of real-world video data to train physical artificial intelligence systems and build spatial understanding of the real-world. Among them, Hivemapper and NATIX Network are expected to become important data sources with their unique video database.

As Mason Nystrom, junior partner at Pantera Capital, pointed out: " Although a single data is difficult to achieve commercial value, there is great potential after data aggregation." The Quicksilver platform developed by IoTeX can aggregate data across DePINs while ensuring data verification and privacy protection.

Space intelligence and computing

In the field of spatial intelligence and computing protocols, the industry is committed to achieving decentralized management of spatial coordination and real-world 3D virtual twins through DePIN and DePAI. For example, Auki Network 's Posemesh technology ensures privacy and decentralization while implementing real-time spatial awareness.

The application of physical artificial intelligence agents has begun to show results, such as SAM is leveraging Frodobots' global robot network for geolocation inference. In the future, with frameworks such as Quicksilver, artificial intelligence agents will be able to better access to real-time data provided by DePIN.

For investors interested in entering the field of physical artificial intelligence, investing in DAO may be an ideal entry point. Taking XMAQUINA as an example, it provides members with a diversified portfolio of physical artificial intelligence assets, covering physical assets of machine, DePIN protocol, robot enterprises and intellectual property rights, etc., and is equipped with a professional internal R&D team to provide support.
