Well, as humans, we have very good spatial awareness. I can move my hand very quickly and grab something, but I mess that up some times if I try too fast. We are still not at the point where we can give robots that good of spatial awareness. We put cameras on them, and run recognition software so that it will pick up on a point of light, or a certain shape, or maybe create a whole 3d map. But, we can't do it fast enough to let robots race around like crazy yet.. they have very bad reflexes!
