Glossary of physical-AI deployment terms.

Physical-AI deployment

The practice of engineering, installing, integrating, and operating AI-driven robotic systems in real-world facilities.

Workcell

An integrated robotic workspace containing the robot, tooling, cameras, safety systems, and local controls required for a defined task.

Vision Grid

A facility-mounted camera system that provides persistent spatial context for robots and operators.

EON Edge

The local gateway that handles sensor ingestion, synchronization, protocol translation, buffering, and facility integration at the deployment site.

AI Runtime

The execution environment where AI models receive observations, generate policy actions, and track inference sessions.

Local safety controller

A deterministic controller (PLC or equivalent) that retains authority over emergency stops, motion limits, and safe-state behavior.

Managed operations

Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, incident response, and performance reporting for deployed robotic systems.

Facility graph

A data model connecting organizations, facilities, zones, workcells, robots, cameras, tasks, and service events.
