A Vision Program that teaches itself the game

Why would it be difficult to handle AI? I guess AI should have more clarity as it's a real generic term. When I say AI especially in terms of gaming I'm really saying what is written in this book. I loved this book as our code uses a very similar model of goal driven classes... the context of AI written here is really a way to manage events in real-time.

Given this context... the AI foundation for our game code we wrote , and the robot code are 100% identical.

I think your context of AI includes the details of the goals themselves... assuming this to be true, it should be abstracted away to not be a part of the AI... so let's take 2011 logomotion as an example, and only just the autonomous part as an example to illustrate my point:

goals
drive forward 10 feet
raise arm to 9 foot mark
drive forward one more foot
open raptor claw
lower arm 6 inches
drive backwards a few feet

In this example these are high level goals that I could have used in the game, the details of how to do the goals would have been different, and FWIW... driving forward *straight* is not as easy as it sounds.
