Sensorimotor tasks are harder than we like to admit

Considering "pick up the coffee mug on the table": I think we can strengthen that assumption from you know where the mug is (and will be) to you can grasp a mug, even if you don't know exactly where it is (because it's moving). A mug won't be moving, of course (unless the table has tilted?) but many things you might reasonably wish to grasp will be, and you might be too. (pick up a cup to drink during a race? pick up a stone while running at the other scavenger that's noshing on your carcass?)

I think he means motor-sensors in AI robots not Sensorimotor in humans.

I read down to these two lines:

"this section is all my personal non-expert speculation and I want you to take this with a bucket of salt. I added it for potential fun discussions."

"My speculation is that the idea that some motor tasks being harder than what we as a society consider “high intelligence tasks” is an uncomfortable idea, because it questions our belief in human exceptionalism.

Want to know how sensorimotor reactions, intrusive images, sounds, smells, body sensations, physical pain, constriction, numbing really impact humans.
