The Grand Challenges of Robotics

This post was inspired by a question Richard Hamming asks in "You and your research" (paraphrasing): "What are the most important problems in your field?". When I thought hard about this question, I realized that I didn’t have a satisfying answer. This post is an ongoing attempt to remedy this.

Since solving these challenges is a collective pursuit, I’d appreciate suggestions on content to add, general feedback, and comments! :)
