Why can't the compute be remote from the robot? That is a major advantage of human technology over biology.

>>UltraS+(OP)
Mostly latency. But even if a single robot could be driven by a data centre consider the energy and hardware investment requirements to make such a creature practical.

>>abraxa+Y3
Latency would be kept low be keeping the compute nearby. One 1U or 2U server per robot would be reasonable.

>>abraxa+Y3
1ms latency is more than fast enough, you probably have bigger latency than that between the cpu and the gpu.

>>Jensso+hx
We've got 10ms of latency between our brains and our hands along our nerve fibers and we function all right.

>>abraxa+Y3
The Figure robots use a two level control scheme with a fast LLM at 200Hz directly controlling the robot and a slow planning LLM running at 7Hz. This planning LLM could be very far away indeed and still have less than 142.8ms of latency.
