Homeostasis: From Living Creatures to Living Machines
نویسنده
چکیده
The Problem: While many robots in industry and research have proven capable of operating in complex environments, most robots still fall well short of living creatures in their ability to deal with extreme variations in their environment. Living creatures, by contrast, will typically cope in any environment to the extent that their physical bodies allow. Living creatures never give up trying to survive. Robots typically lack this homeostatic quality that allows living creatures to survive in the maximum range of environments. Until they are able to fully utilize their bodies to maximize “survival” in the same way, robots will not truly function as productive, independent creatures.
