The post emphasizes that robot policies now run entirely on-device, because "Wi-Fi dropping out and causing issues" is unacceptable for home robots.
The argument is clear:
- Local inference provides more stable and predictable latency
- Eliminating network dependency reduces failure modes
- This is crucial for deploying robots in real-world home environments
