Has anyone considered the possibility of running ARC on a Ockel's Sirius A ultra small PC? You could attach it to your robot and give it some degree of autonomy. Are the Sirius A's specs up to the job? Looks OK to me.

Yes - that pc would work for arc. Any pc that runs windows 10 will work for arc
In that case I can see good potential. One could control most functions on the robot using voice commands with a wireless mic receiver attached to the Sirius A. The robot would not be reliant on a laptop or tablet sitting on a table or held in someone's hand separate from the robot.
@afcorson Its a very expensive option compared in using something like the Latte Panda mini PC board, looking at the spec there very similar, but the Sirius A is about $700, where the Latte Panda $100.
I know the Sirius A has a 6 inch screen incorporated into it, but if you brought a touch screen for the Latte Panda it would only cost you another $100 or so. My experience with smaller touch screens with a 7 inch one, I used on my Inmoov, is that they not that accurate and very frustrating to use due to there size, running W10.
