What people say. Engineers point to this 2009 demo to show the incredible capabilities of low-latency vision and actuation in robotics.

Faster neural nets are essential for robotics. Take a look at this video from 2009 demonstrating a 1000fps vision system and a very fast robot hand. Then compare to recent videos of robots being slow as a turtle. link to this video

On “What the hell happened to the future?”

I am watching AI papers and YouTube demonstrations of robotics and it seems they stagnate. It's frustrating to see it takes 2 minutes for a robotic hand to open a door in this day. What happened to fast vision systems? Here's a 2009 video of a high speed robotic hand and vision system. It does 1000fps: link to this video Why hasn't anyone surpassed it since 2009?

On “Intel Unveils Strategy for State-Of-the-Art Artificial Intelligence”

Won't get anywhere with a dataset. You need dozens or hundreds of them, and they are usually created using Amazon Turk, so anyone with some money can create one. And they need to be commissioned by the AI researchers, because they know best what they want to study. NVIDIA needs to become more efficient and build deep learning hardware instead of graphics cards that do faster computation than CPU. If only they could create a small form AI processor for robotics that could do vision at 500+ frames per second. Take a look at this video from 7 years ago which does 1Khz vision: link to this video We need that.

On “FINN: A Framework for Fast, Scalable Binarized Neural Network Inference [pdf]”

They report image classification speeds of 20K - 12.3 million images / second. Good! That means we might see robots that don't stumble or take 2 minutes to open a door. Here's what you can do with 1000fps vision: link to this video (and that was 7 years ago!) I'm wondering why fast vision applied to robotics hasn't been more researched in the meantime.

On “Tesla is building its own AI chips for self-driving cars”

I think latency makes a lot of difference when an autonomous system is interacting with the world. Take a look at this video from 2009 where they use a high speed vision system (1000fps!). The things it could do are probably unequaled even today. link to this video The higher the speed of the system, the less it has to predict in the future and better can adapt to unforeseen situations. It's basically using the world as a model, for free.

On “The Octo-Bouncer”

High speed rock paper scissors champ - link Ishikawa Komuro Labs had a bunch of crazy high speed robotic vision and actuation system ~10 years ago. link to this video if you watch the slow motion there's so much backlash in the system it's hard to believe it works at all, but somehow they factor all of that in. Crazy stuff. That said, for a little side project this is very cool. The simulation idea is dope and the end result is fun to watch.
