Building intelligent physical AI: From edge to cloud with Strands Agents, Bedrock AgentCore, Claude 4.5, NVIDIA GR00T, and Hugging Face LeRobot

Agentic AI systems are rapidly expanding beyond the digital world and into the physical, where AI agents perceive, reason, and act in real environments. As AI systems increasingly interact with the physical world through robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, a fundamental question emerges: how do we build agents that leverage massive cloud compute for […]

Strands Agents and the Model-Driven Approach

Until recently, building AI agents meant wrestling with complex orchestration frameworks. Developers wrote elaborate state machines, predefined workflows, and extensive error-handling code to guide language models through multi-step tasks. We needed to build elaborate decision trees to handle “what if the API call fails?” or “what if the user asks something unexpected?” Despite this effort, […]
