I can hardly answer This means that robot motion planning strategies... will see, that often humans are not as good in motion planning as one may think Second, the above example with moving in the dark underlines the importance of sensing hardware Strategies that humans and animals use to realize safe motion in an unstructured environment are intimately tied to the sensing machinery a species possesses When coming from the outside into a dark room, your movement suddenly... robot”—that is, switching sharply from one movement to the other and being oblivious to the surroundings That is not what robots should be and even are today Examples in Chapter 8 will show that when equipped with means for self-awareness and with strategies to use it, robots become sensitive to their surroundings, “pensive,” and even gentle in how they “mind” their movement.1 A nonprofessional reader curious... being the pet project of science fiction writers and philosophers alike The pictures of real-life robots in the media, in which they look as close to a human as, say, a refrigerator, seem to only insult the public’s insistence on how a robot should look How much of “not quite”-ness is or ever will be there is the subject of sometimes fierce arguments It is usually agreed upon that high intelligence is... such names as motion planning with complete information, or model-based motion planning, or the Piano Mover’s model The symbolism behind the latter term is that when movers set out to move a piano, they can first sit down and figure out the whole sequence of moves and turns and raisings and lowerings, before they start the actual motion After all, the physical setting that encompasses this information .
