Robots Need Physical, Not Just Artificial, Intelligence

Rodney Brooks, an Emeritus Professor at MIT and CTO of Robust AI, discusses the evolution of robotics and AI. He emphasizes the shift from traditional AI to innovative biologically-inspired designs. The conversation highlights the importance of physical intelligence in robots and reviews the challenges they face in learning tasks. Brooks critiques the current limitations of artificial systems compared to human capabilities, advocating for the integration of physical interactions in developing more advanced and human-like robots.
