It's not an AGI system. The robot does what its told. An AGI system is where the robot works out how to do things - esp. how to move - for itself. In the near future, only a sub-AGI system is practical - where the robot first works out alternatives, and humans then supervise the results (a bit like GA's)..
I haven't met an AGI-er who really understands this central difference between AGI/narrow AI. We want a robot that we *don't* have to program algorithmically - that we only have to *brief* - to which we only have to say GO TO THE KITCHEN and *it* works out the rest - as a human does. A few here may nod at that, but they don't really get it.
