If you want AGI you need to give it a world to live in. The ecological component of perception is missing. Without full senses, a machine doesn't have a world to think generally about. It just has the narrow subdomain of inputs that it is able to process.

You could bet that AGI won't manifest until AI and robotics are properly fused. Cognition does not happen in a void. This image of a purely rational mind floating in an abyss is an outdated paradigm to which many in the AI community still cling. Instead, the body and environment become incorporated into the computation.
