🤖 Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics

Welcome to My AI Book, a structured and hands-on textbook focused on AI systems operating in the physical world.
This book bridges the gap between AI software (the brain) and humanoid robots (the body) using modern robotics and simulation tools.

📘 About This Book​

You will learn how to:

  • Control humanoid robots using ROS 2
  • Simulate robots and environments using Gazebo, Unity, and NVIDIA Isaac
  • Build Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems powered by LLMs
  • Design AI agents that perceive, plan, and act in the real world

The content is organized as modules, each building toward an autonomous humanoid capstone project.
