Foundation models in humanoid robots require heavy training on specific procedures. Even then, skills don't generalize.

Evolution used the Basal Ganglia to tell the Frontal Cortex when to hold a representation. This system needs to be in Physical AI. We have it.
The modules of the artificial brain system have functional properties that vary based on what is known about each region in scientific literature.
