Ben,
There is obvious confusion here. MOST mutations harm, but occasionally one
helps. By selecting for a particular difficult-to-achieve thing, like long
lifespan, we can discard the harmful mutations while selecting for the
helpful ones. However, selecting for something harmful and easy to achie
We are getting down to some of the nitty gritty. To a considerable extent
what is holding robotics back is the lack of common standards. We can think
about what we might need. One would instinctively start with a CAD/CAM
package like ProEngineer. We can thus descibe a robot in terms of assembles

Not true!!!
What most people miss are the stability requirements for closed loop control
systems. These are crystal clear in an analog world, but some (many?) people

By not "made to perform work", you mean that it is not sturdy enough? Are any
half-way AGI robots made to perform work, vs production line robots? (I think
the idea of performing useful work should be a goal).
The protocol is obviously a good idea, but you're not suggesting it per se will

Typically the demo is some of the best that it can do. It looks like the
robot is a mass produced model that has some really basic handling
capabilities, not that it is made to perform work. It could still have
relatively advanced microprocessor and networking system, IOW parts of the

John,
Any more detailed thoughts about its precise handling capabilities? Did it,
first, not pick up the duck independently, (without human assistance)? If it
did, what do you think would be the range of its object handling? (I had an
immediate question about all this - have asked the site f
This is a very powerful argument, but is not quite a rigorous
proof. Thermodynamics is like saying that because all zeros below 10^20 have
a real part of 0.5 therefore there are no non trivial zeros for which that
is not the case. What I am saying is pedantic, very pedantic but will still

Just two quick comments. CCTV is already networked, the Police can track
smoothly from one camera to another. Second comment is that if you (say)
taking a heavy load upstairs you need 2 robots one holding each end. A
