| contents | Realizing embodied artificial intelligence is challenging due to the huge computation demands of large models (LMs). To support LMs while ensuring real-time inference, embodied edge intelligence (EEI) is a promising paradigm, which leverages an LM edge to provide computing powers in close proximity to embodied robots. Due to embodied data exchange, EEI requires higher spectral efficiency, enhanced communication security, and reduced inter-user interference. To meet these requirements, near-field communication (NFC), which leverages extremely large antenna arrays as its hardware foundation, is an ideal solution. Therefore, this paper advocates the integration of EEI and NFC, resulting in a near-field EEI (NEEI) paradigm. However, NEEI also introduces new challenges that cannot be adequately addressed by isolated EEI or NFC designs, creating research opportunities for joint optimization of both functionalities. To this end, we propose radio-friendly embodied planning for EEI-assisted NFC scenarios and view-guided beam-focusing for NFC-assisted EEI scenarios. We also elaborate how to realize resource-efficient NEEI through opportunistic collaborative navigation. Experimental results are provided to confirm the superiority of the proposed techniques compared with various benchmarks. |
