Interesting! You make a very good point. I'd be interested in what you see as the path from SLAM to AGI. To me, language generation seems obvious: 1. Make a language and algorithms for generating stuff in that language. 2. Implement pattern recognition and abstraction (imo not _that_ hard if you've designed your language well) 3. Ground the language through real-world sensorimotor experiences so the utterances mirror the agents' experiences. What do you see as the equivalent path from mapping, navigation and SLAM? -J ----- 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=8660244&id_secret=93271502-5143d2
