# [HY-Knowledge EP.3] Physical AI: The Next Revolution After Generative AI | Professor Cho Kyu-jin > Source: > Published: 2026-08-21 04:38:01+00:00 HY-Knowledge, an original series by SK hynix, explores the latest technologies shaping the AI era and the role of memory in making them possible. In the third episode, Professor Cho Kyu-jin of Seoul National University explores the world of Physical AI, where robots and AI meet and step out into the real world. In an era where AI, once confined to the screen, now directly touches and interacts with the physical world, is the human-like humanoid the peak of robot development, or merely the starting point? From Honda’s ASIMO to Atlas, robots that advanced on the foundation of hardware are now growing explosively as they meet generative AI. And what truly brings that intelligence to life is, in the end, countless actuators and sensors, and memory chips. These fully realized robots are now making their way into every corner of our lives, from jobs too difficult for people, such as those at construction sites, to wearable robots that will stay by our side in an aging society. Join Professor Cho Kyu-jin as he explores the future of Physical AI, one that goes beyond a smart brain to bring real help to our daily lives.
