I dunno, I'm not super convinced. Even the most apparently messy and real-world example, the robotic hand, isn't much conceptual progress over e.g. Andrew Ng's helicopters from 2004. He jsut doesn't address the impression that current approaches don't seem to work in situations with poor data availability, compute or no.
