Re: Future of Autonomous Mode

When will we be able to use a Pentium 4 level processor for the robot? In fact, maybe they should let us interface the robot microprocessor with the PC so that the PC does all the processing and sends back data to the robot processor on what it would like the bot to do. We are currently stuck with very primitive sensors. If only we could mount a couple of webcams and use a PC-class processor, the sky would be the limit for autonomous mode.
True, the sky would be the limit for autonomous mode, but the sky would also have to be the limit for weight, and build time :-D.
