Robotics and Marvelmind
My fascination in mind and its capabilities reflected in the name of the company Marvelmind Robotics. It is all about mind, it is far less about body, mechanics or electronics.
The body is needed to a mind as far as means to provide the mind with the ways to survive - nothing more. Interestingly, the mind has evolved as a means for the body to survive.
Body always implies environment. Taking into account that minds can potentially exist in various habitats, mind's body variants may be extremely diverse.
For example, if we are talking about natural biological world, cell-based organic structures survive pretty well, as we see :-)
However, the sphere created by humans can theoretically support artificial creatures rather well too. Imagine a car that have got intellect. The car would have a comfortable environment, because humans prepared it: gas stations, mechanics shops, roads, even automatic washing! A car with intellect can survive in this environment. It will be fully dependent and vulnerable to changes in the environment (because this car won't have evolution built in it), but its generation can live reasonably well. It won't be an independent life. It will be a symbiotic life.
Symbiont can be found in nature too, but they are for some reasons not so common.
Jumping further, a truly artificial mind hidden somewhere in Google's servers and living in a corresponding artificial world of internet can exist as well. It misses, though, one requirements. It does not need to worry about its body or has very indirect way to do so. Surely, it is possible that it does not need that boring problem to worry about the body, but the link between the thought of a mind living in Google to upgrade its body (server) and a mechanics changing a processing block in the server is longer and not so straightforward. Meaning that the driving factor of all known living organisms - to survive by all means - won't govern the Google's creature. This is "a ding" in a fact-supported reasoning :-)
What is my point here?! Robots and artificial intelligence is first of all about minds!
P.S. with all respects to mechanics engineering! ::--))
