PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Nursing homes have become a testing ground before embodied intelligence lands in homes, due to their semi-structured environments and high-frequency repetitive tasks. This can accelerate data accumulation and model iteration, but safety and cost challenges remain significant. The industry needs to advance pragmatically and avoid hype.
