A robot with universal artificial intelligence is a robot that can do any human task. It can drive a car, fly a plane, play any videogame, play any sports game, cook in a restaurant, clean a house, etc.

This video demonstrates how a robot thinks while playing a baseball videogame. There are no sound in this clip because I wanted the viewers to focus on the robot's thoughts while playing the game.

All rules of real-life baseball is used in the videogame. However, the robot has to use a controller to control players in the game. The robot played other baseball games in the past and understand the rules and facts about how to use a videogame controller to play baseball.

During the game, the robot has to predict the future about where the baseball will land, in order to make good future decisions. When the robot is batting, he has to predict the future of where the ball will be when it reaches he catcher. This insight will be be used by the robot to decide what actions to take. For example, if the robot predicts the ball will be a strike, he will hit the ball; and if the robot predicts the ball will be a ball, he will not hit the ball.
