What is embodied?

Embodied means being part of something physical, like being inside a toy or a robot.

Imagine you're inside a teddy bear. You can feel the soft fabric around you, and when the bear moves, you move too. That's what it means to be embodied, you’re not just watching from outside; you’re part of the action.

Think about a robot that walks. If you're embodied inside it, you feel every step it takes. You might feel the wheels turning under your feet or the arms moving as it reaches out. It's like being in a toy car, when the car goes forward, you go forward too.

Or imagine you're inside a puppet. When someone pulls the strings, you move with them. You can feel every tug and twist. That’s embodied, you’re not just watching; you're part of what's happening.

So, being embodied is like being inside something that moves, you feel everything it feels!Embodied means being part of something physical, like being inside a toy or a robot.
