Moravec Paradox: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Moravec Paradox

In artificial intelligence and robotics, the Moravec paradox refers to the finding that, contrary to the usual assumptions, reasoning takes very little processing, yet sensorimotor and perceptual skills require vast amounts of computational resources. This insight was made by Moravec. In the 1980s, several individuals like Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, and Marvin Minsky were among those who first expressed the principle. Moravec stated in his article from 1988 that "it is relatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers," while he went on to say that "it is difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility."
