Robot Control Viable with 32×32 Depth Input
yacineMTB · x · 2026-07-17
In the context of robot control, the discussant suggests that depth sensors are sufficient. Input can be downscaled to 32×32 pixels and then used to train a control model, which is already enough to support RL control.
The conversation also touches on robot "blindness" as a prominent issue, necessitating more reliable external inputs for perception. However, a counterpoint is raised that depth cameras have a limited effective range, which might be insufficient if mounted directly on a robot.
