Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics Textbook

Welcome to the Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics textbook — a practical, project-driven course designed to teach you how to design, simulate, and control humanoid robots using modern AI techniques.

This textbook covers:

  • ROS 2 (Robotic Nervous System)
  • Simulation with Gazebo & Unity (Digital Twins)
  • NVIDIA Isaac Sim & Isaac ROS
  • Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems
  • Hardware & Edge AI (Jetson kits, RealSense)
  • Humanoid design, kinematics, locomotion, manipulation
  • Hands-on projects and a capstone: Autonomous Humanoid

Use the sidebar to navigate modules. Each module includes theory, conceptual diagrams, design patterns, and non-executable procedural steps for labs and demonstrations.
