Re: forests on orbit

Ian wants to build seamless models from camera and other imput and
have robots run through pre-programmed routines that humans indicate
work with maybe a little goal building against the model. It is a
workable vision - and as a matter of fact what I envision things to be
like. It will still take something on the order of one or two robots
per worker and real-time feedback. He doesn't get what everyone has
gotten in the field since 1980s. Playing your model like a chess game
to get a plan of action and then carrying out your plan of action -
works only in the most benign of environments - and then, only in the
most forgiving of procedures. It can work, and will work - but you'll
still need humans on site for any real productivity measured in the
conventional sense. True autonomy will take something more -
something we don't even know how to think about today. This
conversation has nothing whatever to do with the madness you keep
repeating over and over and over again.
