Our system is made to learn and interact using similar principles to the human brain, the most intelligent and flexible system known to exist. The brain is a sensorimotor system that constantly receives movement input and produces movement outputs. In fact, the only outputs from the brain are for movement. Our system works the same way. It **needs to receive information about how the sensors connected to it are moving in space** in order to learn structured models of whatever it is sensing. The inputs are not just a bag of features, but instead features at poses (location + orientation). +**Monty is designed for sensorimotor applications.** It is **not designed to learn from static datasets** like many current AI systems are, and so it may not be a drop-in replacement for an existing AI use case you have.

This could be physical movement of sensors on a robot. It could also be simulated movement such as our [simulations in Habitat](../how-monty-works/environment-agent.md) or the sensor patch cropped out of a larger 2D image in the [monty meets world](benchmark-experiments#monty-meets-world) experiments. It could also be movement through conceptual space or another non-physical space such as navigating the internet. -Applications where we anticipage Monty to particularly shine are: +Applications where we anticipate Monty to particularly shine are: - Applications where **little data** to learn from is available - Applications where **little compute to train** is available - Applications where **little compute to do inference** is available (like on edge devices) @@ -24,4 +24,4 @@ Applications where we anticipage Monty to particularly shine are: # Capabilities -For a list of current and future capabilities, see [Capabilities of the System](./vision-of-the-thousand-brains-project/capabilities-of-the-system.md).
