Ant Group's embodied AI unit Robbyant unveiled LingBot-Depth 2.0 and LingBot-Vision, foundational models that solve critical robotics perception challenges—particularly accurate sensing of glass, mirrors, and transparent objects—while achieving superior performance using 7x fewer parameters than Meta's DINOv3.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, Robotics and Computer Vision.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Founders building robotics, autonomous systems, or embodied AI should monitor this—efficient, open-source foundational vision models with solved glass/transparency sensing directly reduce perception costs and timelines for hardware deployment.
