CRN: WWT's Trojecki: No One 'Was Prepared' For Channel's Big Physical AI Moment
Mike Trojecki, the head of World Wide Technology's AI practice, explains why physical AI is a big channel opportunity: 'There was never really any place for us to make money, but now there's a huge opportunity from a robotics standpoint because AI is driving that.'

Do solution providers have opportunities to drive sales and services engagements for robotics and autonomous systems? The answer may have been "no" a few years ago, but that is set to change with a push by NVIDIA and other vendors to make the emerging field of physical AI a key growth driver for the tech industry.
With the goal of using AI to enable autonomous systems to complete complex tasks in the real world, physical AI brings together multiple disciplines, including robotics, computer vision and digital twin simulations. These fields combine to enable the training of robots and autonomous systems in digital twin simulations to prepare them for actions in real-world environments such as manufacturing plants or warehouses.
