Vital Intelligence | Isaias Thomas Biju | TEDxUniversity of Birmingham Dubai

What truly makes a robot intelligent? In this engaging and humorous talk, Isaias Thomas Biju challenges the traditional notions of AI and robotics by introducing the concept of vital intelligence—technology that doesn’t just think, but feels, adapts, and collaborates. Drawing from cutting-edge research at Heriot-Watt University’s LAIRR lab and real-world applications in the UAE, Isaias makes a compelling case for building machines that understand us—not replace us. A talk that redefines intelligence for a human-centered future. What truly makes a robot intelligent?
