#2Great project. Locomotion and vision are pretty advanced compared to grasping and complex handling of objects. If we could have a workable arm, it would be much more interesting in applications.

#3This was amazing, I am amazed at your command of both hardware and software technology. Even as a Software Engineer, I have a hard time trying to make TensorFlow do something for me.

#4> recognizing arbitrary objects within a larger image has been the Holy Grail of artificial intelligence
The Holy Grail is general AI. Recognizing objects is a side quest, perhaps a required step, but, by no means, the end goal.

I think we're going to get better vision before we get hard AI. Just my two cents.
(Then again, I'm biased.)

Like so many other things in the field of AI, general object recognition was the "holy grail" because it was assumed that it required AGI. Now we've figured out a way to do general object recognition without AGI.

Whenever we figure out how to do something, we stop calling it AI or AGI. If the trend continues, will we eventually have a general AI, but won't consider it anything special? Will it have been just a small incremental step by then?

Is there a story somewhere of AI researchers concluding general object recognition was the holy grail of AI?
I get that a lot of people downplay achievements in machine learning by saying it's nothing like AGI, but it's almost a meme now that "once upon a time everyone thought that was the holy grail and they're moving the signposts" even when 1) nobody thought that, or 2) some people thought that and some people didn't think that.

There are some affordable robot arms. uArm has a hobbyist-level arm. I have one, and I made a 6DOF force sensor out of a 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator on the end and got it to talk to ROS. I want to hook a classifier system up to it so it can use tools like end wrenches and get them onto a bolt by feel.
Robot manipulation in unstructured situations still sucks, though. Willow Garage was making progress, but didn't last.

#10Dis the author publish a repo for this? It's easy getting tensorflow going for basic image classification but the hard part is actually making the robot move in a way that makes sense - using the camera and the sonar data to make decisions and then drive the motors. Or is this not autonomous?
