The Evolution and Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Robotics

Nowadays, AI's development, especially the emergence of large models, has given it a depth of thinking and generalization ability it never had before, and this ability can be applied across the board. As a field that has long intersected with AI technology, intelligent robots have shifted from past modes of thought and technical routes to today's large models. This paper comprehensively traces the technical evolution of intelligent robots from their inception to now, focusing on their path of integration with AI. Using literature research, comparative analysis, and trend analysis, combined with in - depth technical analysis, it identifies key moments in the evolution of intelligent robot technology and the internal logic of its integration with AI. The research indicates that the convergence of artificial intelligence and robotics has progressed from mere perception to cognitive capabilities, transitioning from specialized to general-purpose applications. Moving forward, this integration is expected to become increasingly prevalent as technological advancements steer towards broader applications.
