Brooks: Elephants Don't Play Chess

Argued for situated, embodied and behavior-based artificial intelligence grounded in ongoing interaction with the world, contrasting it with classical symbol-centric decomposition.

What is recorded here?

Argued for situated, embodied and behavior-based artificial intelligence grounded in ongoing interaction with the world, contrasting it with classical symbol-centric decomposition.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Brooks's sole-author 1990 paper and its research program. It does not claim a theorem, a complete general intelligence, or absorb the subsumption architecture paper and later behavior-based robotics.
