Embodied AI is increasingly becoming agentic, shifting robots from perception--control pipelines towards closed-loop systems that can retrieve context, deliberate during execution, monitor feedback, and refine future behavior. In parallel, robotics research has also moved from single-robot autonomy towards multi-robot systems, driven by the need for wider sensing, distributed action, heterogeneous capabilities, and fault tolerance. As AI agents move from single-agent use towards multi-agent collaboration, robotics faces a parallel challenge: robot teams must move beyond sharing maps, task assignments, and datasets towards sharing the state produced by embodied agent loops. This article explores Embodied Collective Intelligence (ECI), a future multi-robot paradigm in which a robot team accumulates and uses world context, task progress, and skill experience as shared resources. Specifically, we first review how embodied AI is becoming agentic and how multi-robot cooperation has evolved. We then present Embodied Collective Intelligence through Co-Perception, Co-Action, and Co-Evolution. Finally, we use an illustrative navigation study to examine one concrete component of the concept: shared world-memory inheritance. The study shows that a newly added robot can benefit from merged team memory, but it is not intended as a full evaluation of the ECI framework. Taken together, the review and conceptual framework motivate Embodied Collective Intelligence as a direction for embodied multi-agent intelligence, while the case study grounds one measurable part of the concept.

The article introduces the concept of "diversity-aware" robotics and discusses the need to develop computational models to embed robots with diversity-awareness: that is, robots capable of adapting and re-configuring their behavior to recognize, respect, and value the uniqueness of the person they interact with to promote inclusion regardless of their age, race, gender, cognitive or physical capabilities, etc. Finally, the article discusses possible technical solutions based on Ontologies and Bayesian Networks, starting from previous experience with culturally competent robots.

Artificial intelligences (AI) are increasingly being embodied and embedded in the world to carry out tasks and support decision-making with and for people. Robots, recommender systems, voice assistants, virtual humans - do these disparate types of embodied AI have something in common? Here we show how they can manifest as "socially embodied AI." We define this as the state that embodied AI "circumstantially" take on within interactive contexts when perceived as both social and agentic by people. We offer a working ontology that describes how embodied AI can dynamically transition into socially…

If robots are to become ubiquitous, they will need to be able to adapt to complex and dynamic environments. Robots that can adapt their bodies while deployed might be flexible and robust enough to meet this challenge. Previous work on dynamic robot morphology has focused on simulation, combining simple modules, or switching between locomotion modes. Here, we present an alternative approach: a self-reconfigurable morphology that allows a single four-legged robot to actively adapt the length of its legs to different environments. We report the design of our robot, as well as the results of a stu…
