Really solid breakdown of the sensory gap in modern AI. The idea that tactile feedback creates a tight action-perception loop is spot on, but I've noticed in robotics work that even basic force sensing gets wierd when latency creeps above 50ms. The brain compensates for delays we barely notice, but current control systems just oscillate or freeze up. One thing missing here is proprioception tho, knowing where limbs are in space matters as much as knowing what they're touching once these systems start moving autonomously.
Thank you for this genuinely insightful technical observation. You're absolutely right about the latency problem in robotic control systems, that 50ms threshold is a critical limit that often gets overlooked in theoretical discussions. And your point about proprioception is excellent: it's true that my article focused on external sensory perception, but a system's ability to "know where it is" in space is just as fundamental as knowing what it's touching. In the second part of the series, I'll address multi-sensory integration, including this proprioceptive aspect. I really appreciate that you've highlighted this gap.
