....reproduction. This part of intelligence is where evolution has concentrated its time it is much harder. I believe that mobility, acute vision and the ability to carry out survivalrelated tasks in a dynamic environment provide a necessary basis for the development of true intelligence. Moravec [11] argues this same case rather eloquently. Human level intelligence has provided us with an existence proof but we must be careful about what the lessons are to be gained from it. 2. 1. A story Suppose it is the 1890s. Artificial flight is the glamor subject in science, engineering, and venture ....

....have worked under. This approach may not produce the optimal intelligence in some sense, but it may have a chance where other approaches have failed. In looking at lower animals one sees that most of their activity is concerned with rather mundane aspects of simply existing in the world (e.g. Moravec, 1984). Very little of their activity has an obvious component that would match any piece of existing work in Artificial Intelligence. To list just of few examples, it seems highly unlikely that a house fly is: recovering three dimensional surface descriptions of all the objects within its field of ....

....set of difficult engineering problems. Our experience, a terribly introspective and dangerous thing in general, leads us to believe that a physical robot is more engaging than a screen image, no matter how sophisticated. 8 Navigation of course is not simple in itself, as was pointed out by Moravec (1984), but here we are talking about robots which have almost no other high level or emergent activities besides navigation. When we move to much more complex systems there are new considerations: ffl When the system has many degrees of freedom, or actuators, it can be the case that certain ....
