But I agree that once software is developed that allows a computer to
learn (especially coupled with a robot that can explore its
environment), we will start to see true machine intelligence.

From many sources, computers are already able to learn, and to do so
while in motion in an environment. One recent example:

Thanks for the reference. The yahoo article had expired but googling
"resilient robot" worked.
