These observations about evolution and the complexity of everyday task (for robot builders) suggest an
Alternate route to constructing intelligence.

Neuro-biology ---look at how brains, sensors and muscles are wired up
-
- ethology: look at natural animal behavior and how it achieves performance
-
- forgo introspection and rely on psychophysics
-
Build an autonomous agent that physically is an autonomous mobile robot and that carries out tasks in a real, unstructured environment
