We're building software for neuromorphic cameras specifically for robotics. If robots could actually understand motion in completely unconstrained situations, then both optimal control and modern ML techniques would easily see uplift in capability (i.e. things work great in simulation, but you can't get good positions and velocities accurately and at high enough rate in the real world).
Robots already have fast, accurate motors, but their vision systems are like seeing the world through a strobe light.
