"AI Agents Are Robots"
Captions available
The idea
A robot is one way to be an agent — the way with motors; most agents have no body at all.
In practice
The standard inventory: physical robots, advising systems that sense and act through people, and software agents whose stimuli and actions are messages.
Where people slip
Restricting "agent" to machines that move is like restricting "musician" to drummers.
