Developmental Robots

AgentLand has posted very interesting new essay by Denis Susac entitled Developmental Robots.

The essay starts by quoting a few scientists that have recently grabbed media attention such as Steven Hawking, trying to place A.I. in the grand scheme of human improvement.
Then, the issue of self-learning is opposed to social learning, where anyone can teach the agent how to perform well. The essay then goes into more detail about SAIL, including its hardware and design philosophy.

The final words are very good, notably with the quote (Minsky surprisingly ;)

"Will Robots inherit the Earth?"
"Yes, but they will be Our Children."

A good read, strongly recommended.
