WP: > I'm going to try and elucidate my approach to building an intelligent
system, in a round about fashion. This is the problem I am trying to
solve.
Marks for at least trying to identify an AGI problem. I can't recall anyone
else doing so - which, to repeat, I think is appalling.
But I don't think you're doing it adequately, with your example of a
submersible. Essentially you're providing a variation on what I've already
mentioned - the ICRA Robot Challenge.
http://icra.wustl.edu/
Their lunar mission camp situation - how would you program a robot to deal
with any unexpected emergency that could arise in a limited camp area - any
malfunctioning equipment, for example - does strike me as a good AGI
problem. Your robot will have certain skills: how will it adapt those skills
to meet new problems for which they are useful but, overall inadequate?
You must first define its existing skills, then define the new challenge
with some degree of precision - then explain the principles by which it will
extend its skills. It's those principles of extension/generalization that
are the be-all and end-all, (and NOT btw, as you suggest, any helpful info
that the robot will receive - that,sir, is cheating - it has to work these
things out for itself - although perhaps it could *ask* for info).
Anyway, nice to see someone talking about the central problem of AGI at
last.
