SWE Involvement Offers Limited Help for ML-Driven Robotics

Kuza55 argues that deep involvement of traditional software engineers offers limited benefit to robotics, whose success hinges on ML methods; meaningful SWE contribution would require ML breakthroughs—like a 100x improvement in RL sample efficiency—that are harder than rewriting GCC.
