Agentic AI for Autonomous Things: Vision-Language-Action Models, Embodied Intelligence and Real-World Decision-Making

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond passive prediction towards systems that can reason, plan, interact and act. This shift is driving rapid progress in agentic AI - i.e., AI systems that can interpret goals, make decisions, use tools, coordinate with humans and operate in changing real-world environments.
