Agreed, no reason for this thing to have 8 core processors and insane amounts of RAM. It's not like this thing is sentient, there's only so much data to process

- lukeschlather 16y agoI've done some work on image processing and read a substantial amount of literature, and nowhere have I seen anyone seriously trying to achieve sentience. I have seen people using 30 node clusters where every node has roughly the processing power of this robot to track a ball with two cameras. Now, this was undergrad stuff and certainly could have been done better, but I'm sure the engineers who built this robot knew what it needed to do its job. It's done as cheaply as anyone has done it up to now, which is important. Though it probably is still too expensive to be widely used, it sounds like a good step towards research to bring down costs to a reasonable level for consumer use.
