Ant Group embodied AI unit claims breakthrough in robot sensing"},"content":{"rendered":"

Robbyant, the embodied artificial intelligence<\/a> arm of Chinese fintech giant Ant Group, launched a new vision model that it claims can help robots overcome a long-standing challenge: accurately perceiving glass, mirrors and transparent objects.The unit of Hangzhou-based Ant Group<\/a> on Tuesday unveiled its next-generation spatial perception model, LingBot-Depth 2.0, alongside a new foundational visual model called LingBot-Vision, as AI labs race to equip machines with the \u201cbrains\u201d required to navigate complex physical spaces.Together, the technologies aimed to solve a critical bottleneck in robotics<\/a> by ensuring machines could \u201caccurately and stably\u201d see in unpredictable, real-world environments, according to the Robbyant, which is also known as Ant Lingbo Technology.<\/p>\n

It was the first model of its kind trained specifically to recognise the edges of objects, the firm said. This allowed the AI to pinpoint boundaries with high precision \u2013 down to a fraction of a single pixel \u2013 giving robots a sharper understanding of the 3D spaces around them, it added.<\/p>\n

LingBot-Vision enters an arena dominated by Meta Platforms<\/a>\u2019 open-source vision model, DINOv3. But where that model relies on massive computational scale, LingBot-Vision aims to outrun rivals through structural efficiency.<\/p>\n

According to a research paper published by the Robbyant team, LingBot-Vision surpassed the 7-billion-parameter DINOv3 across multiple metrics on the NYUv2 depth-estimation benchmark. It achieved this using one-seventh as many parameters and less than a third of the training data, according to the benchmark.<\/p>\n

The new vision model serves as the critical engine driving LingBot-Depth 2.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robbyant, the embodied artificial intelligence arm of Chinese fintech giant Ant Group, launched a new vision model that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[5682,23495,229,228427,138490,6159,61,60,228424,228383,2393,228426,228381,5698,10178,80,228425],"class_list":["post-537436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-alibaba-group-holding","tag-ant-group","tag-chinese","tag-dinov3","tag-embodied-ai","tag-hangzhou","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-lingbot-depth","tag-lingbot-vision","tag-meta-platforms","tag-nyuv2","tag-robbyant","tag-shanghai","tag-south-china-morning-post","tag-technology","tag-transparent-objects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
