Think about when someone is going on a hike. Humans have an innate ability to adapt to the ever-changing environment we encounter along the trail. We navigate rougher terrain, adjust to steeper inclines, appropriately respond to unpredictable wildlife, and circumvent fallen tree branches without too much thought.

However, the hike would not be quite so effortless for a robot. Robots use programmed algorithms and mechanical systems to perceive and respond to their surroundings. Reacting to those things for robots is complex and goes beyond a mathematical formula.
