Physical AI concept FAQ

Physical AI is artificial intelligence that perceives its environment through sensors, makes decisions and acts directly in the physical world through a robot body. If the past decade of AI wrote text and generated images inside phone and computer screens, Physical AI is the stage where that intelligence leaves the screen and acts in real space.

Galaxy Corporation defines Physical AI as "AI that once lived inside screens gaining a robot body and coexisting with people," and applies it to entertainment to create performances beyond human physical limits. The full definition is covered in the Physical AI whitepaper.

They are branches of the same trunk. Academia mostly says Embodied AI — intelligence that has a body, interacts with its environment, and learns and acts through it — while industry widely says Physical AI, stressing that the intelligence operates in the physical world.

Both terms describe AI that runs from perception to decision to physical action, and the humanoid robot is the archetypal body that carries it. Related terms are collected in the Physical AI glossary.

Because the center of AI innovation is shifting from software to physical systems. As text and image generation went mainstream at speed, "AI that acts in the real world" emerged as the industry's next core challenge. Physical AI being named a headline theme at CES, the world's largest tech show, in January 2026 symbolized the shift.

Global big tech and robotics companies are pouring investment into humanoid robots and the AI that will serve as their brains, and the range of applications — manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, entertainment — is widening fast.

A conventional robot is a machine that repeats fixed coordinates and motions; a Physical AI robot sees, hears, decides and moves on its own. A factory robot arm never leaves its programmed path, while Physical AI perceives its surroundings through sensors and generates behavior to fit the situation.

Another decisive difference is that it can learn human movement as data and reproduce new motion. Galaxy Corporation's robots learning real idols' choreography and performing synchronized routines is a prime example.

Manufacturing and logistics automation, healthcare, home services and entertainment — every field that requires physical action is its stage. On industrial sites, humanoid robots are moving in to take over repetitive and hazardous work; in daily life, development is heading toward service robots that assist people.

Galaxy Corporation is the company that chose entertainment as its first stage: robots dancing K-pop routines, boxing, connecting with audiences — building an industry where people go to see Physical AI. Why entertainment came first is covered in detail in the Physical AI whitepaper.

An artist's choreography and performance are carried onto a robot's body, creating shows beyond human physical limits. At a public showcase in May 2026, Galaxy Corporation's humanoid robots performed demanding synchronized routines to six songs by G-DRAGON and TAEMIN, and the company is expanding into hands-on content such as robot boxing, drawing robots and hugging robots.

Unlike people, robots do not tire, and once networked they can reproduce the same stage in several cities at once. That makes possible an operating model no human stage could sustain: four or more shows a day, more than 1,000 a year.

Yes — at Galaxy Robot Park in Godeok, Gangdong District, Seoul. A Physical AI theme park of roughly 16,500 m² (5,000 pyeong), it runs K-pop robot dance shows and robot boxing, plus hands-on content including drawing robots, hugging robots and robot dogs.

About 8,000 visitors booked the July 2026 pre-opening, and every weekend show sold out early. A September grand opening is in preparation. Location, booking and other details are in the Galaxy Robot Park FAQ.

A real idol's choreography is captured as motion data, then learned and reproduced by humanoid robots. Human joint movement is converted into data and mapped onto the robot's motion, enabling idol-grade performance — arms swinging, bodies popping on the beat.

Once learned, a routine can be transmitted over the network and reproduced by robots in several cities at the same time. The full technical process is explained step by step in the implementation section of the Physical AI whitepaper.

Galaxy Corporation CEO Choi Yong-ho expects "a life shared with robots within 10 to 20 years." He built Robot Park precisely to bring that forward — as "the place where people experience the human-robot future first, in the real world."

Across the industry, Physical AI is moving past proof of concept into real deployment. Galaxy's view is that meeting a robot at a show is the first point of contact on the way to a daily life shared with robots.

Galaxy Corporation is a global Physical AI company that brings Physical AI to life through entertainment. It creates humanoid robot shows trained on real idols' choreography, opened Galaxy Robot Park to run them permanently, and is preparing a robot concert world tour performed simultaneously across multiple cities.

Physical AI is one pillar of the hyper-convergent IP ecosystem, which extends IP across AI avatars, alter egos and robots. Answers about the company as a whole are in the company core FAQ.
