They don't necessarily have to scale down to get the benefits of AI in side smaller devices such as robotics. There's no reason why the robotics devices can't or won't be equipped with a variety of radios to facilitate communication.
The AI agent can easily be somewhere centralized where power isn't a big deal.
Then the robot stops being analogous to an animal with it's own brain and starts being something more like an appendage.
Or maybe they'll be like those magical mops in Fantasia.

- eloff 10y agoOh god, imagine being in a self driving car that does it's computing in the cloud - and then you enter a tunnel. Obviously cars are not really power or space limited and they can't rely in connectivity. But it's funny to think about anyway.
- Teever 10y agoI'm thinking more like warehouse or factory that has a central rack-server and all the robots in the factory are wirelessly connected to it. People look at a humanoid robot and they see an entity that is similar to a human but made of silicone and steel instead of meat and bone. I think it's more accurate to compare the robots in this factory to the hands and eyes of a large disembodied rackmount brain.
