In the section that deals with embodied intelligence in 2001: HAL's Legacy, we learn that the intelligent machines of the future will need to experience and learn about the world the way we do: using binocular vision and a range of senses, bumping into things and experimenting the way a two-year-old child does. In the film, we meet COG, a robot developed at the MIT AI Lab, which unites several sub-fields of AI such as vision and dexterity into one coherent and functional whole.
Below are links to interviews with the people who are closely involved in the COG Project:
