Something quietly shifted in the last year that I don't think has gotten enough attention in discussions about robotics timelines. Capable, real-time, multi-model robot vision now runs on a $249 device. Fully on-device. No cloud dependency. I know because I built it. OpenEyes runs on a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB: Object detection + distance estimation Depth mapping Face detection Gesture recognition Full body pose estimation + activity inference 30-40 FPS. $249 hardware.
