Why make the distinction between robots and PCs/servers? There doesn’t seem to be any fundamental difference between them that would make implementing ANN impossible.
Having to do things in the physical world is harder than doing it on the computer
Not sure how this makes using ANN in robots impossible. Surely you don’t think that electronics can’t be used in robots, do you?
Hell, it’s been a while since I programmed LEGO robots, but I’m pretty sure you can write an ANN there using official tools. This is all just a matter of having some programmable component in a robot and enough memory.
