So much wrong with this and I haven't even clicked through yet.

A) "Feel" is a function of sensors, not AI, and people have been working on tactile sensors with a wide range of properties for years. The TacTip that senses direction of force as well as pressure. The artificial skin. The Festo tentacle gripper. The jamming gripper (coffee grounds in a balloon is makes a surprisingly good gripper!).

B) A robot doesn't "go blind" when it touches something. All its other sensors still work, plus whatever sensors it has specifically for contact and touch (and yes, it needs those).

C) There has been tons of work in this area that doesn't involve "AI" at all. Traditionally, this is both a hardware problem and a software problem. And Gill Pratt said "grasping is solved" at IROS in Portugal in 2012.

D) WTF is "physical AI"? We have had "autonomous robots" "intelligent agents" "cyber-physical systems" - now we have yet another stupid term foisted on us by the "robotics is a subset of CS" crowd? Again? If it's AI, it's software. If it has a body and it's trying to pick things up without destroying them, it's a robot.
