The robot’s “eyes” just received a big upgrade. LingBot-Depth 2.0, a depth-completion model with half the depth error just dropped. 12/16 benchmarks topped. Glass, mirrors, and transparent objects are so easy for us humans, but so hard for robots, because they do not behave like ordinary surfaces in a...

Very excited to share our first public release after I joined Robbyant! We present Lingbot-Depth 👀 — a state-of-the-art depth foundation model trained with RGB-D MAE on millions of real & simulated RGBD pairs. 🔹 Camera depths as natural masks for RGB-D MAE modeling 🔹 Large-scale real + sim RGBD data curation pipeline What surprised us most: ✨ Significant improvement on transparent, reflective surfaces, and thin structures — traditionally the hardest cases for depth models. 👇These are some of hard causal-capture images we tested on. The results are pretty good! #DepthEstimation #FoundationModels #EmbodiedAI #3DVision #Robotics #RobbyAnt

In collaboration with Intel, our Depth Fusion showcases the power of our LDM3D diffusion model in generating 360° views from text prompts provided by the user. The LDM3D diffusion model generates a 2D RGB image and its corresponding relative depth map providing a complete RGBD representation corresponding to the text prompt. The LDM 3D model is a specialized version of the stable diffusion V 1.4 model that has been modified to fit both image and depth map data.The model was then fine tuned on a subset of the Laion400M data set - large scale image caption data set. The depth maps used to fine tune our model were generated by the DPTBeiT large 512 depth estimation model that provides highly accurate relative depth estimates for each pixel. We take the generated 2D RGB image and depth map and use them to compute a 360° projection using touchdesigner. Touchdesigner is a versatile platform that allows for the creation of immersive and interactive multimedia experiences. Our application harnesses the power of touchdesigner to bring the generated 360° views to life, providing users with a unique and engaging way to experience their text prompts, whether it’s a description of a tranquil forest, a noisy cityscape or a futuristic sci fi world. Our depth fusion can bring these concepts to life in a vivid and immersive detail. - Scottie Fox, VP Engineering Blockade Labs ScottieFox #AI #VR #3D #gamedev #stablediffusion

Want to use Depth Anything, but need metric depth rather than relative depth? Thrilled to introduce Prompt Depth Anything, a new paradigm for accurate metric depth estimation with up to 4K resolution. 👉Key Message: Depth foundation models like DA have already internalized rich geometric knowledge of the 3D world but lack a proper way to elicit it. Inspired by the success of prompting in LLMs, we propose prompting Depth Anything with metric cues to produce metric depth. This method proves to be very effective when using a low-cost lidar (e.g., iPhone's LiDAR), which is widely available, as prompts. We believe the prompt can generalize to other forms as long as scale information is provided. Prompt Depth Anything offers 1⃣A series of models for iPhone lidars. 2⃣4D reconstruction from monocular videos (captured with iPhone). 3⃣Improved generalization ability for robot manipulation, e.g. Training on cans but generalizing on glasses. 4⃣More detailed depth annotations for the ScanNet++ dataset. The first author is our excellent intern Haotong Lin. Paper: Huggingface: Project Page: Code:

In a entertainment reality show, where PERSONALITY is the focus, some have decided to mine "DEPTH OIL". Trust me all cards must be dealt, but assassinating the character of a player when you have equal access to play than be a paranoid commentator is crazy work.

This is insane!🔥 This is a 720p (2D) video I shot of my kids 15 years ago! I used AI to upscale it, depth-map it, & used the depth map to convert it to 3D SBS, & then converted that to Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro (MV-HEVC). My son is currently a senior in high school, and my daughter is a sophomore in college. This video has complete spatial depth when viewed in the Apple Vision Pro. Obviously, you can't appreciate that via this post. But it's like I'm there & I can see into this room. Talk about giving you the feels.🥹 This can be done with ANY video. 🤯 I'm working on refining the workflow, as it's a bit cumbersome. I plan to share it, but holy cow! I had to post this.

Six open-source LLMs. One sliding puzzle. A brutal test of long-horizon reasoning and tool calling. Five of them broke. One didn't. I gave each model a move_tile tool and a scrambled 3×3 board, then asked it to solve the puzzle through pure turn-by-turn reasoning. The deeper the scramble, the more brutal the search. Five runs per depth, best run kept. A model fails the round if it exceeds 6x the optimal move count. > Depth 5: Everyone solves it. Yawn. > Depth 10: GLM 5.1 melts down. 43 moves. Cut. > Depth 12: Gemma4 26B loses the plot, shuffling tiles in circles. Gone. > Depth 15: The wall. DeepSeek V4 Flash, out. DeepSeek V4 Pro, out. Gemma4, out again. GLM 5.1, out. Two survivors: Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, and Kimi K2.6 with an 11-move solve that looked like cheating. > Depth 18: Same two. Everyone else hallucinating tiles that weren't there. > Depth 22: Final boss. Kimi, flawless for five rounds, finally cracks. 81 moves. Still scrambled. DeepSeek V4 Pro limps home at 90. Qwen3.6 35B-A3B solves it in 36. The smallest model in the room. ~3B active params. Fits on a single 3090. It beat everything. Kimi was elegant. Qwen3.6 was unstoppable.

🚨 BREAKING: Big news in the computer vision world! 🎥 Luxonis | Robotic Vision just dropped its new OAK 4 line, and it’s a big upgrade for edge computer vision. Instead of being “just a stereo camera,” OAK 4 is a fully standalone vision computer with 52 TOPS of on-device AI. Models run locally, depth is computed locally, and no external PC or cloud pipeline is required. This is why robotics teams love it: lower latency, lower cost, fewer failure points in the field. The hardware is built for the real-world. IP67, shock-resistant, wide-FOV RGB + stereo pair, IR projection, IMU, audio, and a patent-pending calibration system that keeps depth accurate even when conditions change. But the real move is the platform. With Luxonis Hub, you can deploy models, grab telemetry, push OTA updates, or collect data when performance drifts, all from a unified interface. It turns a single device into an end-to-end edge CV system. Most customers today in robotics are groups who just want something that works: AMRs, bin-picking systems, trailer-loading robots, and ag-tech. 🤖 And they all say the same thing, the appeal isn’t raw TOPS, it’s the all-in-one simplicity that lets them scale without building custom infrastructure. Feels like the direction edge vision has been waiting for: rugged hardware + high-throughput on-device compute + a real management layer. A next step toward “plug-and-deploy” perception for robots. 🔗 Find out more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Meta presents Sapiens Foundation for Human Vision Models discuss: We present Sapiens, a family of models for four fundamental human-centric vision tasks - 2D pose estimation, body-part segmentation, depth estimation, and surface normal prediction. Our models natively support 1K high-resolution inference and are extremely easy to adapt for individual tasks by simply fine-tuning models pretrained on over 300 million in-the-wild human images. We observe that, given the same computational budget, self-supervised pretraining on a curated dataset of human images significantly boosts the performance for a diverse set of human-centric tasks. The resulting models exhibit remarkable generalization to in-the-wild data, even when labeled data is scarce or entirely synthetic. Our simple model design also brings scalability - model performance across tasks improves as we scale the number of parameters from 0.3 to 2 billion. Sapiens consistently surpasses existing baselines across various human-centric benchmarks. We achieve significant improvements over the prior state-of-the-art on Humans-5K (pose) by 7.6 mAP, Humans-2K (part-seg) by 17.1 mIoU, Hi4D (depth) by 22.4% relative RMSE, and THuman2 (normal) by 53.5% relative angular error.

With all due respect to my friend Doomer, the reason they didn’t use selective focus on the Rocky stair shot is because they couldn’t. The tech wasn’t there yet. Rocky was the first film the use a Steadicam. This was groundbreaking tech and changed cinematic language forever. That's the reason the stair scene is so iconic--because audiences had never seen anything like it before. If we were doing that shot today, we’d have a focus puller (called a 1st AC in the USA) manually focusing the lens on a wireless follow focus. Because there’s no other way to pull focus with a fast moving steadi cam following a fast moving subject. With a shallow depth of field Rocky would have been running in and out of focus. But back then they had no choice. So they used the largest depth of field they could get away with so that Rocky stayed in focus the entire time. If they’d had the tech to do selective focus they 100% would have used it--because cinema is all about selective focus. Steadicam inventor Garret Brown actually shot a test with his GF running on the same stairs used in Rocky (see video). And again, he was forced to use a deep depth of field because there was no way to accurately focus the camera while he was moving.

🎙️ Charles Lee on LaMelo Ball's and Brandon Miller's minute restrictions: "We'll see how they recover after their first back-to-back in a while." "You just have to keep the process, the long-term vision, in mind even when you're in these moments. We want to win this game, obviously—every game we want to win really badly—and those two guys obviously help you do it." "But we do have really good depth, and so you lean on that depth in moments like this, and the maturity of those two guys to understand that there is a bigger picture and trying to maximize their availability. They did a good job of staying engaged even if they had to sit out for longer stretches than they're used to, and then when they came in the game, they had an impact."

New paper from Apple - Sharp Monocular View Synthesis in Less than a Second Mescheder et al. @ Apple just released a very impressive paper (congrats! 🎉🥳). You give it an image and it generates a really great looking 3d Gaussian representation. Uses depth pro. It's really good. The model is about 3GB, and takes ~5-10s on my M1 Max per image. Single feedforward pass network. The video is using "Metal Splatter" to view the .ply from ml-sharp on Apple Vision Pro. Some really wow moments today trying it on different scenes.

For the past 3 months, I've been heads down building and extending our multimodal data capture rig for Physical AI training. What you're seeing here is a single synchronized capture from our system — RGB, depth (stereo IR camera) feed; real-time 3D hand reconstruction, and a 23×20 tactile pressure grid from sensor gloves, all aligned and timestamped together. Getting here took a lot of unglamorous iteration. We reworked the pipeline to deliver clean, gap-free depth at scale after identifying early depth frame drops caused by data throughput bottlenecks in our capture box. We built per-channel calibration models that convert raw resistance signals from our flex sensor gloves into accurate, drift-corrected force values — solving the creep behavior that made a steady grip falsely appear to fade over time. Even though we’ve stayed quiet on socials, word of mouth spread — our rigs have already been deployed in data factories, manufacturing lines, and homes across the US, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia by our customers and ourselves. In the next few days, I'll be sharing more about how we're tackling rights-cleared data capture from the hardware level, and our closed-loop data-model flywheel — using model evaluation results to identify gaps and guide what data our customers need. More soon, stay tuned…

Enabling autonomous vehicles perceive their environment using only off-the-shelf cameras has been a long term research objective at Swaayatt Robots. This demo highlights the capabilities of our on-road perception system which is able to detect obstacles, road boundaries, lane markers in images, as well as compute depth of the complex scenes in the environment. The output shown in this video is end-to-end raw output from our deep learning system, without any post processing. The current system, with joint computation of obstacles, lane/road boundaries, and depth, works at 30 FPS on an embedded GPU in our autonomous vehicle, and can achieve higher FPS with further optimization -- which is currently a research in progress. This system is being scaled up for both the day and night operations, and we will showcase its strength towards enabling autonomous driving on a mountainous environment with unpaved roads, in the absence of any delimiters. #deeplearning #autonomousdriving #autonomousvehicles #machinelearning

This system is being scaled up for both the day and night operations, and we will showcase its strength towards enabling autonomous driving on a mountainous environment with unpaved roads, in the absence of any delimiters. #deeplearning #autonomousdriving #autonomousvehicles #machinelearning

Robot simulation is getting a big upgrade! 🔥 Normally, building a simulation environment, a kitchen, warehouse, office takes days or weeks. You have to model the geometry, add textures, set lighting, generate collision meshes… all before a robot can even interact with it. Marble by World Labs removes most of that work. You type a text prompt or give it an image, and it generates a full 3D scene with depth, lighting, and a collider mesh you can export into engines like MuJoCo. That means researchers can quickly create lots of different environments to train robots on, which is exactly what domain randomization needs. If we want robots to learn faster, we need to create worlds faster. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🇺🇸 It’s hard to believe, but aerial refueling has been happening for over 100 years, first taking place in 1923. How modern refuelling works is a boom operator lies on their stomach in the back of a tanker, looks out a small window, and manually guides a 30-foot metal pole into a jet traveling at 300mph. 30,000 feet up. But the KC-46 Pegasus is trying to change that. No window. Instead, a panoramic camera system displays a real-time 185-degree view on 3D screens. Operators wear special glasses for depth perception. The whole thing runs on software. Sounds great, until you realize it's developed by Boeing. Unsurprisingly, the camera system has been plagued with problems since day one. Image distortion. Depth perception failures. Boeing has absorbed over $7 billion in losses on the program. The upgraded vision system, originally promised in 2023, is now not expected until summer 2027. The KC-46 is already flying missions over Iran right now. With a camera system that, by the Pentagon's own assessment, is still not working as expected. Source: Sam Eckholm YT
