The first training objective

Let's now discuss what we want our robot to do and how we're going to get there. It's not very hard to notice that the potential capabilities of the hardware described are quite limited:

• We have only four servos with a constrained angle of rotation: This makes our robot's movements highly dependent on friction with the surface, as it can't bring its individual legs up, which is also the case with the Minitaur robot, which has two motors attached to every leg.
• Our hardware capacity is small: The memory is limited, the central processing unit (CPU) is not very fast, and no hardware accelerators are present. In the subsequent sections, we will take a look at how to deal with those limitations to some extent.
• We have no external connectivity besides a micro-USB port: Some boards might have Wi-Fi hardware, which could be used to offload the NN inference to a larger machine, but in this chapter's example, I'm...
