robot assembly line

All animals, from insects to people, are endowed with a sophisticated range of behaviors that allow them to interact appropriately with their world. They are capable of complex sensory processing, versatile execution of coordinated movements, and (in higher animals) planning of actions that will accomplish some task. Their behavior is motivated or goal driven rather than just being purely reactive. Their behavior is adaptive, in the sense that it can be automatically adjusted to suit unanticipated variations in their unstructured environments. And most importantly (in higher animals), those skills that they were not born with they can learn. The intelligent control problem is to design robots (or in general, automatons) that have some of these properties.

Cerebellum : thousands of possible motion sequences, stored +dynamicaly acessed.

Assembly line robot : 1 sequence; - can be very complex, but has to be pre-programmed precisely in advance.
