🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the lack of systematic alignment between Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). We propose the first mapping framework linking EAI’s four core modules—perception, decision-making, action, and feedback—to AGI’s six foundational principles. Methodologically, we design a closed-loop embodied cognitive architecture integrating deep learning, reinforcement learning, large language models, and multimodal perception, demonstrating that dynamic environment interaction constitutes a critical paradigm for transcending narrow AI limitations. Our analysis reveals that embodied dynamic learning fundamentally enables abstract reasoning, autonomous goal generation, and continual adaptation—capabilities essential to AGI. Key contributions include: (1) the first systematic EAI–AGI mapping; (2) the formal establishment of embodiment as a core paradigm toward AGI; and (3) a scalable, empirically verifiable embodied cognitive architecture. This framework provides a testable pathway for AGI realization grounded in embodied cognition principles.

📝 Abstract
The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI), which involves intelligent systems with physical presence and real-time interaction with the environment, has emerged as a key research direction in pursuit of AGI. While advancements in deep learning, reinforcement learning, large-scale language models, and multimodal technologies have significantly contributed to the progress of EAI, most existing reviews focus on specific technologies or applications. A systematic overview, particularly one that explores the direct connection between EAI and AGI, remains scarce. This paper examines EAI as a foundational approach to AGI, systematically analyzing its four core modules: perception, intelligent decision-making, action, and feedback. We provide a detailed discussion of how each module contributes to the six core principles of AGI. Additionally, we discuss future trends, challenges, and research directions in EAI, emphasizing its potential as a cornerstone for AGI development. Our findings suggest that EAI's integration of dynamic learning and real-world interaction is essential for bridging the gap between narrow AI and AGI.
