I would have thought that level of image recognition was already here, even close to being packaged up in Python packages. You think we're not there yet?

With half decent radios, the brains of the bot could be stashed back at HQ, which would really improve the amount of computation available.

Very honestly, I’ve started looking at CV since I’ve integrated the robotic arm in my model (a couple of days ago :)). I‘m actually searching paper/project on it - My next step is the “open a door” task

Brains are really not the limiting factor, and yeah, the raw materials for doing this kind of recognition are pretty mature. You'd want some kind of server in any case, but I bet the CV could feasibly be done onboard.

The physical manipulation part would take some work for sure, and the robot itself would be fairly expensive to make, but it's all pretty achievable. You need it to do more than a BobCat while costing less.

It's not "Uber for $sector" but it can be done.
