At the Academic Annual Conference of the Meituan Robotics Research Institute held during IROS 2025, Wang Xingxing highlighted a notable perspective. While many anticipate flawless hardware to underpin the smooth operation of software, the reality frequently falls short of expectations. He underscored that as AI and software capabilities continue to advance, the reliance on hardware is progressively diminishing. When compared to conventional algorithms, those trained by AI exhibit a marked reduction in hardware prerequisites.
