English: "PAI has the potential to use deep learning to mimick not only the individual human but also the human society as a whole. Robots are a typical example of Integrated PAI (IPAI) that mimick the individual humans, and integrates the perception of the physical world through multiple sensors that collect signals and data, the induction from multiple indices, and the physical response in the physical world as shown in Fig. 4, that illustrates the most important modules in IPAI. A

robot’s perception, computing, and mechanical modules are confined into a limited space, while similar to the human society Distributed PAI (DPAI) distributes the perception, the computing and the response modules across a wide space, such as a factory or a city, as shown in Fig. 5. Industrial IoT system is a good illustration of DPAI [22].

PAI needs to fuse multiple streams of information including materials, temperature, vision, sound,etc. from multiple sensors as per Fig. 3. Therefore, multimodal processing is mandatory to understand the information in PAI."
