📘 Book Introduction
A 217-page technical standard from Dr. Yeon Sam-heum establishing the WIA-AI_EMBODIMENT framework for embodied AI. The four-phase standard consolidates decades of robotics research and AI development into normative requirements: data formats for how sensors and actuators communicate, APIs that bind intent to physical motion, protocols ensuring distributed subsystems stay synchronized, and integration methods embedding safety throughout architecture.
💫 Publisher's Review
This is the first comprehensive technical standard for embodied AI, establishing the normative baseline the industry has needed. When robotics and AI converge, most critical failures occur not within individual perception-planning-control layers, but in the seams connecting them. Dr.
🌟 Inside the Book
The book opens with embodied AI's history—from Unimate to modern vision-language-action models—grounding the case for standards. It catalogs specific failure modes where current AI understands tasks conceptually but cannot execute them physically, then explains why incremental improvements alone cannot close this gap.
