In the opening lecture of intro AI (CS 260), I discussed some contrasts between what AIs and robots were capable of, having come a long way, but have a long way to go -- I used these videos to illustrate some points:
Bigdog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNZPRsrwumQ);
Asimo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3C5sc8b3xM);
Dr. J (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7njB1T-Xjk);
Willie Mays (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dK6zPbkFnE );
I'm not sure Asimo could get back up if it fell!!!
There are differences in mental abilities too (e.g., categorization and pattern matching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq-AHmD8xz0 ), but the cognitive prothesis view suggests that AI can be used to augment myopic and otherwise limited human reasoning (e.g., Dan Ariely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X68dm92HVI ) to yield a powerful human/AI hybrid intelligence.
