New AI Robot with 100 AI Brains Is Actually Thinking (Smart Muscle System)
Pi 0.5 by Physical Intelligence revolutionizes robotics by distributing computational power throughout a robot's body instead of using a single central processor. This system features two layers: a network of "pi nodes" handling immediate reflexes, and a high-level planning model managing complex tasks. Trained on diverse environments, Pi 0.5 achieves 94% success in completely new settings, using 25% less power while improving grip accuracy by 30%. The robot continually cycles through thinking, acting, and observing—enabling it to perform household tasks like cleaning, organizing, and handling objects without pre-mapping or constant connectivity. This architecture mimics how biological systems balance reflexes with conscious thought.
