Biomimetics: can robots outperform animals?
• Will future generations eventually outperform animals in every way possible? Massive investment in robotics research has yet to provide a definitive answer to this question.
• Robots outperform animals on the level of sub-systems in categories like power, frame, actuation, sensing and control, but animals benefit from better integration of all these sub-systems and have superior overall abilities.
• At the same time, animals still dominate performance in some sub-systems: notably in the realm of intelligence (surpassing AI) and their capacity to store and convert energy.
