Body Discovery of Embodied AI
🤖 AI Summary
Current embodied artificial general intelligence (AGI) struggles to adapt dynamically to diverse, previously unseen physical embodiments—i.e., real-world agents with heterogeneous morphologies and actuation capabilities—in open, time-varying environments.
Method: We formalize the novel “body discovery” challenge: real-time identification of unknown embodiments and causal interpretation of their neural signals’ functional semantics. To address it, we introduce the first rigorous formal definition of an AI “body,” and propose a unified framework integrating causal structure learning, customized embodied simulation environments, and functional representation modeling of neural signals.
Contribution/Results: Our approach transcends conventional static, predefined embodiment models by enabling causal inference-driven embodiment recognition and functional induction. Evaluated across diverse virtual environments, it achieves significantly improved accuracy in dynamic embodiment identification and enhanced interpretability of functional semantics—establishing a scalable theoretical and technical foundation for generalizable, adaptive embodied intelligence.

📝 Abstract
In the pursuit of realizing artificial general intelligence (AGI), the importance of embodied artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly apparent. Following this trend, research integrating robots with AGI has become prominent. As various kinds of embodiments have been designed, adaptability to diverse embodiments will become important to AGI. We introduce a new challenge, termed"Body Discovery of Embodied AI", focusing on tasks of recognizing embodiments and summarizing neural signal functionality. The challenge encompasses the precise definition of an AI body and the intricate task of identifying embodiments in dynamic environments, where conventional approaches often prove inadequate. To address these challenges, we apply causal inference method and evaluate it by developing a simulator tailored for testing algorithms with virtual environments. Finally, we validate the efficacy of our algorithms through empirical testing, demonstrating their robust performance in various scenarios based on virtual environments.
