The future of consumer robotics will not be built on "a crappy ARM machine with no real parallel compute". Traditional robotics has failed to produce machines that can operate in the real world outside of strictly controlled environments, and more of the same isn't going to change that. Fast hardware for running DNNs will be a hard requirement for useful general purpose robots.
- moffkalast 2y agoI agree that it'll be needed, but that hardware that can provide enough compute at acceptable wattage is yet to materialize. Only once that changes the equation will change. Today you'd be surprised how many production UGVs run off an actual Pi 4 or something in a comparable compute ballpark.
