Yes, but you cannot have a (human) mind without a body.

In a similar way, you cannot have e.g. Linux running without a PC,  
and Linux doesn't have a CPU, HD, RAM, etc...

This has lead people to either aim at real world robotics as the only  
way forward in AI, or at developing inside the computer complex  
bodies and environments...
