What is embodiment in the agent context?

  • A.Being implemented in hardware rather than in software
  • B.Having a representation of one's own body in the knowledge base
  • C.Being visible to human observers as a physical machine
  • D.Having a physical body whose form shapes what the agent can do

Answer: D

Embodiment holds that the shape, dynamics and sensors of a body are part of the solution rather than an inconvenient wrapper, so that a well designed morphology can make control trivial. Passive dynamic walkers, which walk downhill with no computation at all, are the standard demonstration. Implementation medium, self representation and visibility are different notions. Letting physics perform part of the computation is a genuinely different design stance and not merely a philosophical one.
