* Manual Intelligence - Shaking Hands between AI and Robotics *


Robotics and entirely disembodied AI are often seen as opposite
extremes to approach the challenge of understanding and building
intelligent systems. We argue that grasping and manual actions
can offer a rich and interdisciplinary "middle ground", thoroughly
rooted in physical interaction on the one side, and yet connected
to many aspects of "high level" intelligence, such as tool use,
language and even emotion. We discuss some issues and challenges
in this upcoming field of "Manual Intelligence", report on some
examples from our own research on controlling grasping movements
of anthropomorphic robot hands, and discuss how this and similar
research fits into the "larger picture" of understanding
cognition.
