IMO who cares if they run fast. Of course they can. They are robots. I would prefer them if at all, washing my car or dishes.

It’s pretty clear that robotics hardware has advanced way beyond the software. Do a backflip? No problem, that’s a predefined routine with good secondary control mechanisms to handle the variation between requested movement and actual movement.
Pick up a dish? Well, that’s going to take vision, control, understanding of how the grabber and various materials interact, and then fuse all that data into an expected result and a plan of action, then control of unexpected things like the plate slipping or the floor being slightly wet.
It’s amazing how far we’ve come and how much it has highlighted how far we have to go.

No you need a lot of software to get a robot to run.

My robot vacuum is totally able to charge itself? And there are precision robots handling delicate tasks in our factories?
