I still find myself wondering if this is actually "robotics" as most people would think of it, or if it's just an iPad on the Belkin auto-tracking stand [1], which already does full rotation and 90-degree tilt.

- chfritz 2y agoIt's not robotics, because it doesn't "plan". A robot is an embodied cognitive agent. Embodies = has a body and is acting in physical space. Cognitive agent = it uses a sense-plan-act loop. This thing may sense and act, but its controls are too primitive to call it "planning". In particular it doesn't plan multiple actions into the future. It's doing something folks in the AI literature would call "reactive control".
