Active Inference for Physical AI Agents -- An Engineering Perspectivestat.ML

AIF improves physical AI agents' performance in dynamic environments.

problem Physical AI agents are less capable than biological agents in open-ended real-world environments.

method Developed from probability theory, Bayesian machine learning, variational inference, and Active Inference (AIF), grounded in the Free Energy Principle.

result AIF minimizes variational free energy and is well-suited to physical constraints.
