Synergetic Empowerment: Wireless Communications Meets Embodied Intelligence
For researchers in wireless communications and embodied AI, this paper provides a conceptual framework and identifies open issues, but is primarily a vision/overview paper without concrete results.
This paper presents an overview of the synergy between wireless communication and embodied intelligence, framing it as a co-evolutionary process that transforms wireless into a digital nervous system for collective intelligence and elevates isolated agents into a unified superorganism with emergent capabilities.
Wireless communication is evolving into an agent era, where large-scale agents with inherent embodied intelligence are not just users but active participants. The perfect combination of wireless communication and embodied intelligence can achieve a synergetic empowerment and greatly facilitate the development of agent communication. An overview of this synergetic empowerment is presented, framing it as a co-evolutionary process that transforms wireless communication from a simple utility into the digital nervous system of a collective intelligence, while simultaneously elevating isolated agents into a unified superorganism with emergent capabilities far exceeding individual contributions. Moreover, we elaborate how embodied intelligence and wireless communication mutually benefit each other through the lens of the perception-cognition-execution (PCE) loop, revealing a fundamental duality where each PCE stage both challenges network capacity and creates unprecedented opportunities for system-wide optimization. Furthermore, critical open issues and future research directions are identified.
