You're suggesting the robots can learn the routing algorithms and rules just by looking at a bunch of pictures? Sure, maybe, given a super-massive amount of data. I see it as the difference between "I want a photo-realistic portrait of a beagle" and "I want a photo-realistic portrait of my neighbor's beagle, Bob". The first one there's some general rules as to what makes something a 'beagle' so is not too hard while the second has specific constraints which can't be solved without a bunch of pictures of Bob. To address the specific issue, an AI would have to learn the laws of physics (aka, "Bobness") from a bunch of pictures of, essentially, beagles in order to undertake the task at hand.
