It has been claimed that a main advantage of cognitive architectures (compared to other types of specialized robotic architectures) is that they are task-general and can thus learn to perform any task as long as they have the right perceptual and action primitives. In this paper, we provide empirical evidence for this claim by directly comparing a high-performing custom robotic architecture develo...
