What is Brooks's central idea about intelligence?
My central idea is that intelligence is fundamentally embodied and arises from the interaction of an agent with its environment. This 'intelligence without representation' paradigm suggests that complex intelligent behavior can emerge from simple, reactive mechanisms without needing a central, symbolic reasoning engine. We don't need to build an internal model of the world to act intelligently; rather, the world itself can serve as its own best model.
