Outline
Traditional Artificial Intelligence
Embodied Intelligence (EI)
Challenges of EI
We need to know how to organize it
We need means to implement it
We need resources to build and sustain its operation
Promises of EI
To economy
To society

Embodiment
knowledge is implicit in the
fact that we have a body
embodiment is a
foundation for brain

Embodied Intelligence
Definition
Embodied Intelligence (EI) is a mechanism that learns
how to survive in a hostile environment
Mechanism: biological, mechanical or virtual agent
with embodied sensors and actuators
EI acts on environment and perceives its actions
Environment hostility is persistent and stimulates EI to act
Hostility: direct aggression, pain, scarce resources, etc
EI learns so it must have associative self-organizing memory
Knowledge is acquired by EI
Embodiment of Mind
Embodiment contains intelligence core
and sensory motor interfaces under its
control to interact with environment
Necessary for development of
intelligence
Not necessarily constant or in the form of
a physical body
Boundary transforms modifying brains
