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... camera pipeline. A robot that misunderstands a balcony window or a table edge, will have a completely false planning inside a false world. Huge implecation. LingBot-Depth 2.0 takes an RGB image plus a broken depth map from a sensor and then outputs a cleaner depth map and a usable 3D point cloud. Numbers on LingBot-Depth 2.0 - Excels on glass, mirrors & transparent objects — where traditional depth cameras fail - Training data: 3M → 150M (50x scale-up) - 12 out of 16 first-place rankings on depth completion benchmarks - RMSE cut in half: 0.132 → 0.062 on the hardest indoor scenes LingBot-Vision trained on boundaries, because object edges carry the geometry robots need. No human boundary labels are used, which makes this approach easier to scale. The open-sourced LingBot-Vision is the general vision backbone, and LingBot-Depth 2.0 is the depth model built on it.show more

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:

$all of this is code Sonnet 5.5 max made this 39s video in 17 hours w/ HyperFrames , prompt below concept: depth is the hierarchy. On a screen you look into, focus picks what matters and going deeper shows more. • One object: a black glass instrument with three windows, all showing the same tide reading, 3.67 m. • Three depths, three levels: the shallowest window shows only the number, the middle one adds range, high water and rate, the deepest adds a trend and twelve readings. • The camera pulls focus from window to window, so focus, not layout, decides what you read. It ends on the engraved line "Depth is the hierarchy". • The design idea: information hierarchy carried by optical depth (glass, refraction, real depth of field) instead of size, weight and position on a flat screen. The starting point was Ferrari Luce's layered display. • Built as one HyperFrames page: three.js glass and metal, live HTML text drawn into the 3D scene through HTML-in-Canvas, thin-lens depth of field, every frame deterministic.$

We just tested what might be the most accurate motion transfer workflow we've seen so far. It's a little more involved than a standard workflow, but the results are pretty impressive. Here's the basic workflow: 1. Start with your reference footage. Create character and environment references. 2. Convert the reference footage into a depth map (with Depth-Anything tool on Fal: 3. (Optional) Layer on additional guidance like colorized character masks (with Meta's Segment Anything: and or skeleton poses (with 4. Feed the depth map into Seedance 2.0 Omni as your motion reference along with your character and environment references. 5. Generate your final video. After testing several variations, the depth map workflow consistently produced the cleanest and most accurate motion transfer. If you're trying to recreate specific performances or complex movement, this is one of the closest AI workflows we've seen to achieving production-quality results.

Humanoid Robots Are Entering China’s Community Pharmacies When an online order arrives, the humanoid robot autonomously locates and navigates to the shelf, picks up the medicine, and delivers it to the packing station. The store clerk then packs it for the customer. This is a real deployment at a Guoda Pharmacy in Shanghai’s Pudong district. They’ve introduced Ant’s Robbyant wheeled humanoid robot R2, powered by the newly released LingBot VLA 2.0 + LingBot Depth, and integrated with online ordering platforms such as Meituan, Guoda APP(the brand)… Customers get their medicine faster, while pharmacists and staff have more time for professional medication consultations--especially valuable during night shifts when manpower is limited. Robbyant plans to deploy these robots in 20–50 pharmacies this year and expand to 300 stores by 2027. --- The real-world deployment flywheel --where actual usage generates more data to strengthen the models--is spinning nicely here.

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.

Stereo depth models usually force a tradeoff. 📌 Paper + Code Either strong zero-shot generalization or real-time speed. Fast-FoundationStereo closes that gap. The model accelerates FoundationStereo by more than 10× while keeping comparable depth quality, making real-time stereo matching practical for robotics and XR. On an RTX 3090, it produces dense metric depth maps and 3D point clouds in real time, outperforming existing real-time stereo approaches and even challenging some heavier zero-shot models. The key idea is a divide-and-conquer architecture that removes bottlenecks in common stereo matching components while preserving the strengths of the original teacher model. Training also tackles a major constraint in stereo vision: the lack of ground-truth metric depth data. The team built an automatic data curation pipeline that generates pseudo-labels from internet-scale stereo imagery using the Stereo4D dataset. Result: a real-time stereo foundation model with strong zero-shot performance and practical runtime speed. Code, pretrained weights, and pseudo-labeled stereo data will be released.

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.

This World Model 'LingBot-World-Infinity (LingBot-World 2.0)' just released from Ant Group looks realy promising. It is an open causal world model with an Agentic harness. Most interactive world models hold together for a few minutes. Then textures smear and geometry warps. That's a video model, not a world — and Robbyant just drew the line at the attention mask. They released LingBot-World-Infinity (LingBot-World 2.0) — a 14B open causal video world model built on Wan2.2, trained with a Mixture of Bidirectional and Autoregressive (MoBA) attention mask, then distilled into a few-step real-time generator with no post-hoc drift filtering anywhere in the stack. Here's what's actually interesting: → Pure teacher forcing overfits — as context grows, the model leans on context instead of predicting frames. MoBA appends a bidirectional full-attention block as a regularizer → Leak-free cross-attention: AR rows attend to background prompt a_B plus chunk prompts a_≤i, lower-triangular. Bidirectional rows see one global prompt a_G → DMD runs over long self-rollout trajectories, not teacher-forced states — the student is optimized on the distribution its own errors induce → Director-Pilot harness: a VLM proposes event cards, the DiT generator renders physical dynamics. Mode B adds a SAM tracking loop for object-centric interaction → One 60-minute uninterrupted session, 20 distinct scenarios, no perceptible decay Full analysis: Paper: Model weight: GitHub Repo: Project: Ant Group Robbyant

🚨 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.

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.

Most video-action robot models are a content-creation video generator with an action module attached. LingBot-VA 2.0 from Robbyant, a video-action foundation model, throws that starting point out and trains the whole stack natively for control. And it runs closed-loop at a peak 225 Hz. It's so important because A robot cannot move responsively when its controller pauses to imagine the next few frames. LingBot-VA 2.0 predicts during execution, then corrects using each real observation. And it carries only about 13B video parameters while activating roughly 1.9B per token. Bigger robot models usually mean slower reactions, creating a direct conflict between intelligence and control. LingBot-VA 2.0 is trained from scratch for robot control rather than adapted from a video generator built for content creation. Robbyant, an embodied AI company under Ant Group, built it to learn how scenes change under actions, predict what should happen next, and turn those predictions into real-time robot movements. Most video-action systems inherit a tokenizer and video backbone trained mainly to reproduce visual appearance. LingBot-VA 2.0 rebuilds both parts around physical control. Its semantic visual-action tokenizer maps observations toward features from a frozen vision foundation model and learns compact latent actions from frame-to-frame changes using self-supervised inverse and forward dynamics. Unlabeled web video can therefore carry action-relevant training signals without robot action labels. The policy is causal from the start, so every prediction can use only past observations. Its sparse Mixture-of-Experts video backbone has about 13B total parameters, while about 1.9B are active per token, keeping the compute lower during each step. A high-level vision-language planner breaks long tasks into smaller instructions, while the low-level video-action policy handles continuous movement. Foresight Reasoning predicts future visual states while the robot is already acting, then replaces imagined states with every new real observation. Combined with few-step distillation and systems acceleration, the paper reports a peak asynchronous execution frequency of 225 Hz. The model adapts from 10–15 demonstrations, transfers across robot embodiments, and handles some new tasks zero-shot. In the paper’s own evaluations, it reaches 93.6 average on RoboTwin 2.0 and reports stronger real-world results than LingBot-VA and π0.5 across the tested tasks. 🧵 1.

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.

Trained a humanoid entirely in a 3D scan of the office. Zero real-world fine-tuning. It just walked in and worked. RL needs hundreds of thousands of attempts, and real robots can't afford to crash. A misjudged gap or a glass door collision breaks hardware and costs hours resetting. So you train in a sim. But sim policies usually train on randomized, untextured geometry; depth is easy to fake. The robot learns structure, not the real world: no materials, no lighting, no idea what anything actually is. RGB cameras carry all of that but training RGB policies in generic fake worlds won’t generalize to the real world. Niantic Spatial 🌎 Scaniverse reconstructs your scan of the real deployment site. One 360° camera walkthrough → photorealistic 3D Gaussian splat at metric scale → collision mesh pulled from the same reconstruction, so vision and physics match exactly. Drops straight into NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab, no manual conversion. Flexion simulation-first approach then seamlessly enables the training of RGB-only nav policies inside that reconstruction. With added domain randomization + large image encoders for robustness, this deploys straight to hardware. No real-world fine-tuning. Deployment: months of on-site adaptation → days.
