Stop calling things that are not robots, robots.
Does this framework stream sensor data? No. Does this framework control actuators? No. Does this framework represent an actuated device’s configuration space? No. Does this framework perform collision detection? No. Does this framework keep an obstacle map? No. Does this framework have any planners? No.
Just stop already. Stop calling things a robot when they are not.
- yaseer 4y agoThey're referring to "Robotic Process Automation" (RPA). I agree the name is a misnomer, but it's now part of the Enterprise Lexicon, which is filled with jargon. I run an RPA startup, but as much as I hate the term (e.g:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30755118 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30755118) , once something becomes part of common language patterns, you can't unshift it. I hate the modern usage of 'AI' as ML, but I can't change the new definition.
