Abstract

The case is made that the path to AGI through cogni- tive and developmental robotics is compelling. Beyond the familiar argument that it keeps researchers honest by forcing their systems to cope with the real world, it encourages them to recapitulate the evolutionary de- velopmental path which gave rise to intelligence in hu- mans. Insights from this perspective are embodied in the Servo Stacks cognitive architecture with several salient features. The brain evolved as a body controller and thus is based largely on computational structures appropriate to physical process control. Evolution typ- ically copies existing structure and modies it mini- mally to meet a new demand. We should therefore expect the higher cognitive functions to be performed by body controllers pressed into service as brain con- trollers.
