A robotics builder is asking for real-world recommendations on a Linux mini PC to act as the host for a YAM arm setup.
The host needs to handle:
- socketCAN
- MuJoCo gravity compensation
- two camera streams
- teleop recording
The poster is currently considering a Minisforum UM870 Slim with an 8745H, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB storage, and asks whether anyone has run i2rt/lerobot on a mini PC and what hardware they regret choosing.
