# Physical AI Era: Machines Must Learn to See Before They Can Think November 07, 2025 AI has advanced at an extraordinary pace. Yet our machines still struggle to connect spatial awareness to their physical capabilities, a skill that is intuitive for humans. As we enter the physical AI era, the ability to perceive the environment accurately, affordably and at scale will determine which systems thrive—and which fall short. ## Machine perception is within reach Our APIs get you the most from our sensors without getting stuck in the photonic weeds. Leave the details of LiDAR to us, so you can focus on your application.
