An idea that I've got stuck in my head: how one goes about teaching a robot that pulling on a string to tug a toy car vs pushing on a string. That they are two different things and One is not effective way to move said car.Or how to learn & model knowledge in a human like way.

from google: https://t.co/vJIFySKDIPfrom facebook https://t.co/u5r6Xm88IN I find these funny: I've been thinking about this since before I was in college.It's why 'how collectives of ants/neruons model knowledge' is so intuitive for me: I've always been rooted in embodiment.
