- adrian_b 3y agoThey have that for the same reason, because they have huge arrays of sensors in their arms and they need to process their output close to the sensors, due to the low speed of propagation of signals through nerves. An artificial robot does not have these constraints of proximity between sensors and the place where their output is processed, because the delay over electrical wires is negligible at the time scale of most sensor outputs.
