Communications and Networks for Physical AI
Goal
Designing communications and networks that let many physical AI agents (cameras, robots, drones) share scarce wireless resources and still act in real time, by transmitting the meaning of what they sense instead of raw bits
Approach
Semantic multiple access: superposing the semantic embeddings of multiple agents on a single shared resource block with learned inter-user positional encoding
Transformer receiver that separates each agent by query-based attention, without successive interference cancellation
Over-the-air validation on a software-defined radio (USRP) testbed
