Video Friday is a weekly selection of robotics videos curated by IEEE Spectrum robotics, along with a calendar of upcoming robotics events. The collection features diverse robotics topics, including autonomous drones, walking robots, dexterous hands, and underwater manipulation. Examples include Skydio's F10 drone, walking robots developed from the Honda P2, and underwater arm collaboration. Various projects explore physical AI, humanoid integration, and advanced robotic capabilities. The content highlights recent advancements in robotics research and technology.
The post seeks input on the placement of perception and higher-level AI inference tasks for robots, considering local, remote, or cloud execution. It asks if the local/remote split for these tasks is fixed or changes dynamically based on factors like deadlines, network conditions, and compute load. Participants are asked to share experiences regarding latency or compute contention issues and the solutions implemented. The discussion also invites feedback on offloading inference and then walking it back. The focus is on perception/AI tasks, excluding safety-critical systems.
