差不多一个世纪以来,工程师一直试用不复杂的机电设计原理来制造机器人。美国布兰代斯大学的计算机科学与复杂系统副教授乔丹·波拉克断言,工程师成功地设计与制造出来的机器人全部都是电子木偶,只有人在幕后操纵时,机器人才能正常工作。为了使机器人有它们自己的真正思维,就需要“一个比微软能编写的程序还要大的程序”。

For almost a century, engineers have been experimenting with uncomplicated mechanical and electrical design principles to make robots. Jordan Pollack, associate professor of computer science and complex systems at Brandeis University in the United States, asserted that the robots that engineers successfully designed and built were all electronic puppets, and that robots were only able to function properly when manipulated behind the scenes. In order for robots to have their own true mindset, it would take “a program that is larger than what Microsoft can write.”
