I've been looking for a robot arm for a while to play ping pong with me. Curious:
1. Would we be able to control it deterministically via an API, rather than relying on LLM?
2. What is the latency on this? Do you think it would be fast enough in deterministic mode to play ping pong?
Kuka had this demo years ago: https://youtu.be/tIIJME8-au8
Nowadays, if you’re running a 2–3B parameter foundation model on a standard computer, you’ll probably get a rollout frequency of 1 to 10 Hz. ACT would be faster, but I still don’t think it’s fast enough.
Nothing fast enough k play ping pong is easily fast enough to cause fatal injury. That’s stick it ina. Cage with a lockout territory. High speed robots are not toys.
