In terms of low-level safety, they can probably back out forces on the robot from current or torque measurement and detect collisions. The challenge comes with faster motions carrying lots of inertia and behavioral safety (e.g. don't p

It’s human nature to make inferences about the world - to observe effect and infer cause. No matter whether the cause you land upon is Jupiter sending a storm to kill the crops, or global weather patterns, you’re still using data to make gu

Pixel density high enough for acceptable text is already possible, just prohibitively expensive. See Varjo's headsets, for example - at the center of the display they have 70 pixels-per-degree (for comparison the Quest 2 has about 20).

I think the point is that Russia's programs isolated those who had a talent/passion for math as opposed to just trying to bring every student to a basic level of understanding. If a student doesn't have the drive/talent&
