WHEN AND WHERE DOES IT HAPPEN?

This paradox first came to light in the 1980s, when Hans

Moravec articulated it in robotics. Back then, he thought that computers would be able to do low-level
sensorimotor skills and high-level reasoning without a lot of trouble. But he also recognized that this
would require enormous computational resources, which could be a barrier to their widespread
application. Moravec's paradox is the paradox in which one human activity requires a smaller amount of
computation than a similar activity in another human being. This paradox is often discussed in the context
of robotics, where supercomputers are becoming the norm. Yet, today's robots are still fragile and clumsy,
especially compared to human beings. Moreover, robots are often used in dreary, dirty, or dangerous
situations.
