I think robots that have vision and manipulation as good as humans are a huge milestone that will happen in the next decade and is being underestimated.
– Bill Gates, Reddit AMA, 2016
I think grasping is going to be a solved problem in the next 10 years. It’s turned out to be an incredibly difficult problem, probably in part because we’re starting to solve it with machine vision, so (that means) machine vision did have to come first.

Why we must solve this ?
Robot Automation Gives Rocket-boost to Economies & Per-Capita GDP
World GDP grew only proportionally with population until before we began automating. Coinciding exactly with the 2nd industrial revolution circa 1870s, and subsequently with the adoption of robots and large-scale automation post 1950s, GDP has grown 6X more than population. We must adopt robots rapidly to achieve phenomenal economic growths.Robot Automation Gives Rocket-boost to Economies & Per-Capita GDP

Yet, Still 31% Time Spent on Manual Labour
According to a McKinsey study on the state of automation, even today, 31% of the time spent by the world labour force is on performing manual labour task. This is the single largest category of jobs performed.
The technical feasibility of automating these tasks is still below 50% wherever there is any unpredictability in the tasks.
Enabling robots to comprehend and adapt to unpredictability remains elusive.
World SpendsTrillions on Manual Labour while Robots Market Still Grows at Snails Pace
Contrary to popular perception, while US alone spends a whopping $1.3T on manual labour wages, the world spends only $16B in deploying industrial robots and $32B in robot accessories and services every year. Industrial Robots market is growing at a modest 8% CAGR while Internet Apps are disrupting at 30% CAGR! A significant technological breakthrough is required to enable faster adoption of robots.Enabling robots to see, understand and learn
to grasp and manipulate any object even from clutter!

Adaptive & Coordinated Acquisition
See to manipulate, manipulate to see
Vision for object manipulation requires dynamic image acquisition hardware, with the ability to focus, refocus, pan, zoom, move around in real-time, and adaptively acquire at high speeds.
Multi-Dimensional Perception
Not 2D, not 3D, we see a lot more!
Static 2D color images and 3D depth maps alone are insufficient inputs for neural networks to model the complexities of objects. Our imaging pathway acquires and constructs more than 7 fundamental dimensions of information, dramatically reducing the quantum of data for learning.
“ Moonshots require strong foundations, solid partnerships, and a high-performing team. Also, some persistence & hard work ”
