- Any3R goes open source: one model unifies 3D reconstruction and pose estimation for pinhole, fisheye, and panoramic cameras
South Dakota State University and other institutions propose Any3R, which uses a dense ray field to describe arbitrary central cameras, reconstructing a 3D point cloud and estimating pose from mixed-camera images in a single forward pass. The method replaces the row and column indices of rotary position encoding with angular coordinates and weights the pixel loss by solid angle, so one set of weights covers pinhole, fisheye beyond 180°, and 360° panoramic cameras. On benchmarks spanning 13 central camera types and 3 datasets, it leads in both reconstruction accuracy and pose accuracy; the inference code, 13 camera models, and weights are open-sourced.
The article presents a feed-forward 3D reconstruction method that replaces the pinhole assumption with a dense ray field, offering insight into handling mixed inputs from multiple camera types.

- Interview with TorqueAGI founder: Most robot AI is just a language or vision model with robot data added
TorqueAGI is providing a "world reasoning model" intelligence layer for industrial robots and heavy machinery rather than developing its own hardware. The model represents objects, machines, and workflows as spatiotemporal graphs and incorporates physics and geometry into its reasoning. The company says new tasks typically require only dozens of examples rather than tens of thousands, and must be validated in simulation and in supervised operation at customer sites before unattended operation is possible. The same model has already run on single-arm and dual-arm robots, mobile platforms, scissor lifts, humanoid robots, and tractors, while details specific to each machine body still need to be described per machine.
