Physical AI, as Galaxy defines it
What is Physical AI
Physical AI is the stage where AI leaves the screen, gains a robot body and coexists with people; Galaxy applies it to entertainment to stage performances beyond human physical limits. — Physical AI is intelligence embodied in robots. Galaxy Corporation is a global Physical AI company building the future of humanoid robotics, embodied AI and AI entertainment.
For most of the past decade, artificial intelligence lived inside screens. On phones and computers it wrote text, generated images and held conversations — but the intelligence had no physical presence. Physical AI crosses that boundary. It is intelligence that perceives its environment through sensors, makes decisions, and moves in the real world through a robot body. It sits on the same trajectory that researchers and industry call Embodied AI.
"The era of AI living inside the phone is fading. The future of AI is a world where it lives alongside people through a robot body."— Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation
The keywords are "body" and "coexistence." Where software AI outputs answers, Physical AI dances in the real world, makes eye contact and shares physical space with people. The moment intelligence converts into physical action, AI's purpose expands from processing information to real-world experience and coexistence.
| Dimension | Software AI | Physical AI |
|---|---|---|
| Presence | A program on a screen or phone | Embodied in a robot |
| Action | Generates text, images and voice | Moves, performs and interacts in the real world |
| Relationship with people | Used as a tool | Coexistence in shared space |
| How it scales | More data and compute | Networked rollout across many robots at once |
With humanoid robots and generative AI reaching commercial readiness, intelligence can finally have a body. The shift spans every industry, but Galaxy translates it into the language of entertainment rather than general-purpose industrial technology. Its Physical AI identity starts not with "what do we automate?" but with "what emotion do we deliver, freed from human limits?"
Why entertainment comes first
In traditional entertainment, a performance is bound to the artist's body. There is a hard physical ceiling on how many stages one person can take and how many dates one person can sustain. However beloved an IP may be, if only one body can embody it, the stage stays scarce. Physical AI breaks exactly this bottleneck: put the IP into a robot body, and the stage is no longer confined to one person's stamina and time.
The decisive advantage of robot performance is "everywhere, at once." Choi calls simultaneous worldwide performance the robot's greatest strength.
"A person has to practice a dance over and over, but a robot can learn it in real time — and so can robots in China or Dubai, not just Korea. The biggest advantage of robots is that they can perform all over the world at the same time."— Choi Yong-ho · at Robot Park
Teach one choreography, and networked robots in cities around the world reproduce the same stage simultaneously. What would take a human months of world touring, Physical AI delivers across continents in the same instant.
How Galaxy builds Physical AI
Galaxy pairs humanoid robots with motion-capture-based learning. Real idol choreography is captured as data, taught to robots, then transmitted over the network so multiple robots perform it at once. At a public showcase in May 2026, robots performed demanding synchronized routines to six songs by G-DRAGON and TAEMIN — idol-grade performance, arms swinging and bodies snapping to the beat.
| Element | Role | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Humanoid robots | The physical body that embodies IP | Performing K-pop group choreography, boxing and more |
| Motion-capture learning | Converts real choreography into robot movement | Six G-DRAGON and TAEMIN songs performed in formation |
| Simultaneous learning and transmission | Real-time rollout to robots in multiple cities | Korea–China–Dubai simultaneous learning presented as the model |
| Interactive robots | Engagement with audiences | Drawing robots, hugging robots, robot dogs and more |
What matters is that these elements come together in a single outcome — a performance — rather than being shown off as individual technologies. At Galaxy, Physical AI exists as an actual stage where audiences buy tickets and take their seats.
The proving ground — Galaxy Robot Park
Galaxy Robot Park is where people experience Physical AI first. Choi defines it as "the place where the future of humans and robots living together can be experienced in reality before anywhere else." Spanning roughly 16,500 square meters (5,000 pyeong) in the Godeok area of Gangdong District, Seoul, it has moved through a soft opening toward a grand opening in September 2026.
The heart of the park is the K-pop robot show. Once fully open, the target is four or more performances a day — more than 1,000 a year — an operating model no human stage could sustain, possible only because robots don't tire. Around it sit interactive attractions: robot boxing matches, drawing robots, hugging robots and robot dogs.
Demand for Physical AI entertainment showed up early. About 8,000 people signed up for soft-opening reservations, and every weekend show in July sold out well in advance. International attention keeps building, too — Italy's public broadcaster RAI featured Galaxy in its coverage of Korea's AI and robotics industry.
| Metric | Detail | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | About 16,500 m² (5,000 pyeong) in Godeok, Gangdong District | A permanent Physical AI experience venue |
| Shows | 4+ a day · 1,000+ a year (target) | Always-on operation no human cast could sustain |
| Early demand | About 8,000 soft-opening reservations · weekend sellouts | Market demand validated |
The future Physical AI points to
Galaxy's Physical AI doesn't stop at performance. Choi says he built Robot Park because he "has no doubt that within 10 to 20 years we will live alongside robots." The goal is a place where children grow up interacting naturally with robots — pulling forward a world where Physical AI is part of everyday life.
The advantage of simultaneity soon extends worldwide. Galaxy is preparing a robot concert world tour starting in late 2026, transmitting performances trained in Korea to Japan, China, Dubai and beyond at the same time. The format of performance itself keeps expanding, too — including a Physical AI fashion show that puts robots on the runway.
In short, Galaxy's Physical AI comes down to three sentences. First, AI leaves the screen and coexists with people in a robot body. Second, its first stage is entertainment, where robots perform everywhere at once, beyond human physical limits. Third, the place to experience that future first is Galaxy Robot Park.
