📰 Dev.to · Arvind Sundara Rajan

Decoupling 'seeing' and 'doing' in robots can unlock their speed by processing visual data and executing actions concurrently, learn how to apply this concept using Python and machine learning

intermediate Published 12 Sept 2025

Action Steps

Apply parallel processing to 'seeing' and 'doing' tasks using Python's multiprocessing library
Use machine learning models to process visual data concurrently with action execution
Implement a queue-based system to handle tasks and improve robot speed
Test and optimize the decoupled system using simulations and real-world experiments
Integrate the decoupled system with existing robot architectures using APIs and software frameworks

Who Needs to Know This

Robotics engineers and machine learning practitioners can benefit from this concept to improve the efficiency of their robots, by applying parallel processing techniques to 'seeing' and 'doing' tasks

Key Insight

💡 Decoupling 'seeing' and 'doing' in robots can significantly improve their speed and efficiency by allowing concurrent processing of visual data and action execution

Key Takeaways
