Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) partnered with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) to accelerate innovation and industrialisation of physical AI solutions.
Physical AI is focused on bringing together robotics, artificial intelligence and intelligent systems to help machines perceive, interpret and interact with the physical world, thereby advancing digital transformation and modernisation of industrial processes.
TCS and CEA’s leading French research institute for intelligent digital systems will drive the design, development and deployment of cutting-edge physical AI-powered systems for real-world applications.
By combining CEA’s deep expertise in digital transformation and scientific research with TCS’ domain knowledge and global scale, the partnership will deliver scalable AI-driven solutions tailored to industrial use cases, from manufacturing and logistics to automation, ultimately transforming efficiency and resilience across sectors.
Alexandre Bounouh, director of CEA-List, said, “This partnership will enable us to connect cutting-edge research with the concrete needs of businesses and to jointly invent the intelligent systems of tomorrow.”
“By transforming collaboration between humans and machines, AI solutions applied to physical systems will optimise the production chain, thereby contributing to one of our core missions: boosting the resilience and competitiveness of French and European businesses,” he said.
Together, TCS and CEA intend to offer organisations concrete solutions based on physical AI, proofs of concept, as well as training and technological support programs.
Some of the key areas of collaboration include versatile robots, advanced human-robot collaboration and socially assistive robots.
The partnership also relies on the unique expertise and leading-edge research of CEA in the convergence between physical AI and humans, TCS said.
Rammohan Gourneni, managing director of TCS in France, said, “Physical AI is a key technology for the future of industry, as it combines the power of AI with the intelligence of physical systems. This partnership marks an important step in supporting our clients in their industrial transformation.”
TCS said that the partnership leverages the TCS Pace Port Paris research and innovation centre at the heart of the French technology ecosystem. The hub brings together experts, startups, researchers and large companies to accelerate the development of next-gen solutions on a large scale.
