Computational AI/AGI vs robotics (Symbolic AI vs (situated, embodied evolutionary robotics) What has been happening over the last decade or so, is that all these dichotomies have been dissolving. It's arguably a consensus now that you can't have reason without emotion, but the other dichotomies and battles are still raging including throughout AI.
It is true that these dichotomies are still a subject of debate among AI academics, but I actually think a significant percentage of people on this list agree that they are misleading dichotomies, and that you can potentially "have your cake and eat it too" by integrating symbolic methods with low-level perception/action stuff as occurs in real and simulated robotics. Certainly, Novamente incorporates this kind of integration in its design principles... and it is not the only AGI design to do so... -- Ben ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
