As far as robotics goes, though, behavior AI is precisely about limiting
the problem, because the robots themselves are limited because of their
mechanics in their mobility, and usually in their function



Yes, I realize all of this, and am actually in favor of the KISS
principle. However, in the end with BBR, you are stuck with devices
with a rather limited repertoire of behavioral intelligence. I think
Randy and David and I [and Curt] are attempting to look beyond that.



-- they roll,
don't walk, have no appendages or limited appendages, etc. I realize
there is a disconnect in talking about the potential of AI versus the
the current reality, and all I'm saying is that for every million dollar
solution there is a dollar store answer. That's why industry still uses
the dollar store version. Until there is a specific requirement to use
sophistication the fallback will always be toward the tried and true.

Also, panicking as a valid mode of "intelligent" behavior is just not
an option, by definition. To postulate a life-n-death situation, you
don't want your sentry robot going into panic mode and killing
everything in sight that moves, etc, or panicking and jumping out of
the top-floor window because the elevator is broke. On and on.

Yes, but then without a gamut of true behaviors it's not really AI.
You've merely preprogrammed what you want the robot to exhibit, and by
that nature it's no longer artificial intelligence, but crafty
pre-wiring. If it's a sophisticated AI system the "bad" behaviors are
modified by the "good" behaviors, so while the robot may have a panic
mode, it will also have behaviors that prevent it from causing damage to
itself, people, furniture, or the cat.
