Thanks for the link.

However, in my opinion this progress is misleading in that a simple
geometric algorithm is likely used to solve the highly specialized
puzzles, then the robot executes a plan to illustrate the solution.

Because the robot software has been tailored to solve one particular
mathematical part of an IQ test, it does not really suggest anything new.

And regarding robots, I far prefer the work in
navigation done by Hans Moravec at CMU, the walking humanoid robots in
Japan, and the robot soccer (football) competition.

These technologies will become excellent peripherals for AGI unless of
course the robot folks develop AGI first.
