Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, the collaborative advancement of artificial intelligence and robotics is reshaping the global landscape and making significant, continuous changes to people's lives. The development of artificial intelligence has led to major breakthroughs in the field of robotics. This paper focuses on the progress in various daily application scenarios, such as industrial automation, medical surgery, service robots, and driverless vehicles. At the same time, it explores the current technical bottlenecks, including the integration of the two technologies, the autonomous learning of artificial intelligence, the key to technological breakthroughs, and the safety of robots under artificial intelligence. Finally, based on the trend of technological development and social needs, this paper further looks forward to future development directions, including the application of general artificial intelligence in robots, the development of human-robot interaction, the cooperation and communication of swarm robots, and the construction of an ethical governance framework. These explorations not only provide theoretical support for the academic community but also offer forward-looking references for the industrial sector and policymakers.
