One particularly fascinating aspect of this essay is the comparison between human motor learning and robotic dexterity development, particularly the concept of “motor babbling.” The author highlights how babies use seemingly random movements to calibrate their brains with their bodies, drawing a parallel to how robots are being trained to achieve precise physical tasks. This framing makes the complexity of robotic learning, such as a robot tying shoelaces or threading a needle, more relatable and underscores the immense challenge of replicating human physical intelligence in machines. For me it is also a vivid reminder of how much we take our own physical adaptability for granted.

machine learning is not equal to human infant development, full stop.
