+ - HACKER for writing muscle-control programs : Presented with
+ low-level muscle control/ sense API, generate higher level programs
+ for accomplishing various stated goals. Example goals might be
+ "extend all your fingers" or "move your hand into the area with
+ blue light" or "decrease the angle of this joint". It would be
+ like Sussman's HACKER, except it would operate with much more data
+ in a more realistic world. Start off with "calestanthics" to
+ develop subrouitines over the motor control API. This would be the
+ "spinal chord" of a more intelligent creature. The low level
+ programming code might be a turning machine that could develop
+ programs to iterate over a "tape" where each entry in the tape
+ could control recruitment of the fibers in a muscle.
+ - Make a virtual computer in the virtual world which with which the
+ creature interacts using its fingers to press keys on a virtual
+ keyboard. The creature can access the internet, watch videos, take
+ over the world, anything it wants.
+ - Make virtual insturments like pianos, drumbs, etc that it learns to
+ play.
+ - make a joint that figures out what type of joint it is (range of
+ motion)
