DeepSeek for Embodied Intelligence and Robotics — the five layers you actually need
Putting DeepSeek into the physical world. This is the thinnest area — searching 'robot' on GitHub mostly returns chatbots, not robot arms.

5. Pitfalls
- Cloud APIs cannot do real-time control. Manipulator loops run at 10-100Hz; a 500ms round trip is only good for high-level planning.
- Layering is the only viable architecture: cloud model for task decomposition, on-device model or rules for real-time control.
- The sim2real gap is harder than the model. Working in Isaac Sim or MuJoCo does not mean working on hardware.
- VLA models need action data, and open datasets (Open X-Embodiment etc.) cover a limited set of robot models.
- Quantized VLAs lose noticeable precision on dexterous manipulation — grasp tasks need separate validation.
