Summary

Adds the "Building intelligent physical AI: From edge to cloud" blog post to the Strands documentation blog section, republished from the AWS Open Source Blog with proper canonical URL attribution.

Changes

  • New directory: src/content/blog/physical-ai/ with 6 media assets (1 GIF, 5 PNGs)
  • Authors: Added 3 new authors to authors.yaml: cagatay-cali, rachita-chandra, aaron-su
  • Blog post: Created src/content/blog/strands-physical-ai.mdx with full content, local image references, and Python syntax-highlighted code blocks
  • Internal links: Converted all strandsagents.com documentation URLs to internal relative paths (e.g., /docs/user-guide/concepts/multi-agent/agents-as-tools/) matching the pattern used by existing blog posts

Content sections

  • Introduction to physical AI and edge-cloud architecture
  • The edge-cloud continuum (System 1 vs System 2 thinking)
  • Progressive code journey: Ollama on edge → visual understanding → sensor integration → VLA models (NVIDIA GR00T) → SDK control (Boston Dynamics Spot) → edge-cloud bridging
  • Fleet learning with AgentCore Memory and Observability
  • Resource links

Resolves #736

/strands can you copy the blog content yourself?

/strands can you fix the links in the blog post that point to other pages on the docs page? They should follow this pattern when linking to another page on the docs site: Hooks

@strands-agent
fix(blog): convert strandsagents.com links to internal relative paths
fa690c5 
Convert 6 external strandsagents.com documentation links to internal
relative paths following the /docs/... pattern used by other blog posts:
- bidirectional streaming quickstart
- steering (plugins/steering, not experimental/steering)
- Ollama provider
- llama.cpp provider
- agents-as-tools
- Strands Agents homepage

/strands Can you update the links like referenced in the open comment?

@strands-agent
fix(blog): convert cross-blog links to internal /blog/ paths
ebdcfa4 
Convert 2 external AWS blog URLs that have local equivalents to
internal paths following the /blog/<slug>/ pattern:
- introducing-strands-agents
- strands-agents-model-driven-approach

Remaining external AWS blog URLs (version 1.0, Bedrock AgentCore,
Claude Sonnet 4.5, embodied AI series) have no local equivalents
and correctly remain as external links.

Assessment: Approve

The previous review's cross-blog link issue has been fixed correctly. After a fresh pass over the updated state, the PR looks good to merge.

Review Details

Verified:

  • All 5 internal /docs/ links resolve to valid pages
  • Both internal /blog/ cross-references (introduced in ebdcfa4) resolve correctly
  • All 6 media assets present and properly referenced with alt text
  • 3 new authors correctly added to authors.yaml
  • Frontmatter (canonicalUrl, date, tags, draft) matches existing blog patterns
  • Code blocks have proper syntax highlighting
  • No remaining strandsagents.com links to convert
  • No MDX parsing issues (all curly braces are inside code fences)

Open suggestion from prior review (non-blocking): The 4.5MB GIF (edge-ai-1.gif) could be optimized for page load — compressing or converting to video format would help, but there is precedent for large assets in the repo.

Clean republication that meets all acceptance criteria in #736.

/strands can you fix these two links? They have been moved under the python directory in this repo:

@strands-agent
fix(blog): update Boston Dynamics Spot sample links to new path
2e6744a 
The strands-agents/samples repo restructured: the edge sample moved
from 06-edge/1-strands-spot-agent to python/08-edge/strands-spot-agent.
Updated both occurrences (lines 27 and 29).

Fixed the two broken Spot agent links in commit 2e6744a. The strands-agents/samples repo restructured its directories — the sample moved from 06-edge/1-strands-spot-agent to python/08-edge/strands-spot-agent. Both occurrences (lines 27 and 29) are now updated.
