Re: if robot CPU requirement is too large, 'mini-cloud' it
Beat me to it. There is no need to get the software to run robots on the hardware that will currently fit inside one when it makes more sense to approach these as independent issues. If the software can be run on a room full of computers, then do that. There eventually will be hardware powerful enough to work from inside a humanoid frame. Taking it a step further, emulate us biological models and run some functions locally (e.g. reflexively pulling back from an unexpected heat source) and some from the server room. It would probably make for a better functioning design.
