The Allen Institute for AI released MolmoMotion, an open model that predicts an object's future 3D trajectory from a video, marked points, and a language instruction, plus a 1.16-million-video training dataset and a new benchmark.

A new MIT framework lets robots store language descriptions of objects in a spatial map and answer natural-language queries, improving accuracy by 21 to 53 percent over prior methods.

OpenCV 5.0, released in early June, rebuilds its deep-learning engine, lifts ONNX coverage past 80%, and can run LLMs and VLMs with no separate runtime.

Sony AI's Project Ace, published in Nature on April 22, 2026, is the first autonomous robot to win competitive matches against elite and professional table tennis players under official rules.

MIT researchers present Wave-Former and RISE, two systems that combine millimeter-wave radar with generative AI to reconstruct hidden objects and entire indoor scenes through obstructions, achieving up to twice the precision of prior methods.
