Robotics/control systems is exactly what came to mind when I saw this release! What struck me is the possibility of look ahead search in real time, a bit like alphazero's mcts.

It's a fascinating proposition and no doubt they'll get bigger models in there, and likely be able to cluster multiple models for mega MOE. One thing that would really be great is if they could take the power requirements down -- the chip requires 2.5KW, which is modest in terms of what the big boys use but would be an issue on a battery powered robot.
