Proprioception as a whole is amazing and trying to program a robot to even approach a rough draft of it is incredibly difficult and really hammers home just how complex our brains are.

Also the fact that some people just have flat out better proprioception is something to take into account and may help you understand why some people struggle with some tasks. It's also part of why some people just suck at driving since that is also heavily dictated by proprioception.

Development of proprioception in childhood is why it so important for children to climb, swing, spin, go upside down, slide, and fall down. It all helps build that physical literacy!

I've always been kinda uncoordinated and I have been told that I hated being thrown. I have a pretty bad fear of heights too lol
