Building and Testing a General Intelligence Embodied in a Humanoid Robot

Understand

Machines with human-level intelligence should be able to do most economically valuable work.

• This aligns a major economic incentive with the scientific grand challenge of building a human-like mind.
• Here we describe our approach to building and testing such a system.
• Our approach comprises a physical humanoid robotic system; a software based control system for robots of this type; a performance metric, which we call g+, designed to be a measure of human-like intelligence in humanoid robots; and an evolutionary algorithm for incrementally increasing scores on this performance metric.
