Chinese Room can be placed inside the robot
Merely putting a computer program in a robot is inadequate because we can put the Chinese Room insde a robot and apply the same thought experiement as before.
Send Chinese symbols fromm a TV camera to the man in the room and tranform the symbols he sends out into arm and leg movements. The man is still just manipulating formal symbols without knowing what they mean.

John Searle 1980a. 1980b, 1990b.
