Self-evolving Embodied AI
🤖 AI Summary
This work proposes a novel paradigm of self-evolving embodied AI to address the limitations of current approaches, which are often confined to static environments and fixed tasks and thus struggle to handle the dynamic conditions and morphological variability of the real world. By integrating five core mechanisms—memory self-updating, task self-switching, environment self-prediction, body self-adaptation, and model self-evolution—the framework enables agents to continuously and autonomously evolve within open-ended environments. The study presents the first systematic theoretical foundation and key components for this paradigm, synergistically combining active perception, embodied cognition, dynamic modeling, and continual learning. This advancement not only bridges embodied intelligence toward artificial general intelligence but also offers a clear pathway for practical deployment and future research directions.

📝 Abstract
Embodied Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an intelligent system formed by agents and their environment through active perception, embodied cognition, and action interaction. Existing embodied AI remains confined to human-crafted setting, in which agents are trained on given memory and construct models for given tasks, enabling fixed embodiments to interact with relatively static environments. Such methods fail in in-the-wild setting characterized by variable embodiments and dynamic open environments. This paper introduces self-evolving embodied AI, a new paradigm in which agents operate based on their changing state and environment with memory self-updating, task self-switching, environment self-prediction, embodiment self-adaptation, and model self-evolution, aiming to achieve continually adaptive intelligence with autonomous evolution. Specifically, we present the definition, framework, components, and mechanisms of self-evolving embodied AI, systematically review state-of-the-art works for realized components, discuss practical applications, and point out future research directions. We believe that self-evolving embodied AI enables agents to autonomously learn and interact with environments in a human-like manner and provide a new perspective toward general artificial intelligence.
