Embodied Intelligence & Robotics Center

We explore how intelligent systems learn and adapt through physical interaction with the real world, studying the fundamental principles of embodied intelligence.

Based at UC Berkeley, EMBER Center investigates the integration of generative AI with physical systems operating in unstructured environments. Our goal is to develop systems that can perceive, learn, and safely act in dynamic, unpredictable real-world settings.
