The field of robotics and AI relies on established technologies such as file systems, virtual memory, and caching. However, building physically intelligent machines for the real world presents complex challenges such as dealing with rough terrain and vegetation.
The line between humans and robots is blurring, especially with the advancements of AI technology. Researchers are now studying the similarities between humans and robots, from a human perspective and an engineering perspective.
The cognitive and psychology literature provide insights into human-human relations and developmental milestones, which can be used to understand the challenges involved in human-robot interaction. The question remains whether the challenges in HRI are fundamentally psychological or still related to robotics.
The field of robotics is split between perception and decision-making, and while there is a general understanding that worst-case scenarios can be difficult, it is baffling how little is truly known about the field and its underlying mathematics.
The most promising approach for building an AGI system involves utilizing an agent, which could be a virtual agent interacting with a simulated environment. while robotics are necessary for certain applications, they may not be required for solving the issue of AGI.
