As robots become more advanced to carry out complex tasks, they are set to be at the forefront of the next phase of Singapore<\/a>\u2019s goal to become a world-class artificial intelligence hub.<\/p>\n

The city state hopes to position itself as a hub for \u201cphysical AI\u201d \u2013 robots and autonomous systems that can clean buildings, deliver goods, patrol public spaces and eventually work in factories, hospitals and homes.<\/p>\n

Singapore\u2019s stable regulatory environment, strong digital infrastructure and experience deploying robots could give it an edge in developing and testing such systems in real-world environments, according to analysts.<\/p>\n

In recent years, global tech giants have looked to Singapore as the forefront of the AI revolution in the region.<\/p>\n
