True. That's why robotics tends to be difficult to accomplish
well, with the exception of the robots with physical design
elements that simply "work" even if it's unplugged.
Walking for example. You can make something walk if the center
of gravities are taken into account properly and it doesn't
require sophisticated computing resources - even none at all if
it's done right.
But many models of consciousness/unconscious that are a purely
computational model have every little thing calculated.
It's one of the things that draws me towards embodied cognition
as a model.
I'll find a short baseball analogy story that contrasts the
"brain calculates trajectory" (which is rather ridiculous on
even a quick glance) vs the embodied cognition model (the player
positions himself in optimum position so that the visual cues
line up with expectations and the body moves itself in expected
position to catch a ball.
In short, put yourself in the position where the template of "I
put my body in this position when I see the ball thusly and then
I will catch it" is more likely than dong calculus with the
subconscious.
