Computing technology is early TL 10 (volitional AIs are too big to fit on a man-sized chasis).
So, I could have a giant computer tucked away in the ship that transmits to the brain inside a robot body?

Humans are by default reluctant to use technologies that would radically alter society, when a group embraces such technologies, it sets them apart from the rest of human society.
So they wouldn't make stone tools, utilitize fire, go from a hunter-gatherer society to an agriculture based one, embrace reason and evidence in the form of science, vaccinate against smallpox, make giant sailing ships to explore the planet, go through an industrial revolution in which they ditch most of that agriculture they had just adopted, cure disease, transplant organs, split the atom, create instantaneous planet-wide communication in which every person was connected to each other in the form of something called the internet, explore their star system, or make propulsions systems that allow them to travel faster than the speed of light. Got it. :)
