YOU MUST REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://voxel51.com/events/seattle-ai-ml-and-cv-meetup-july-15-2026 Building Foundation Models for Robotic Perception 3D spatial understanding is a critical skill for robotics which typically requires tedious manual design, expensive data collection and per-domain training. This presentation will focus on the development and application of foundation models to address several fundamental challenges in robotic perception, and how they facilitate robotic loco-manipulation skills. First, we introduce FoundationStereo (CVPR'25 best paper candidate), a novel architecture optimized for zero-shot performance. The model leverages a 1M-pair self-curated synthetic dataset, bridges the sim-to-real gap using monocular priors, and incorporates an advanced filtering module for long-range context reasoning. Second, we address its computational bottlenecks with Fast-FoundationStereo (CVPR'26). We propose a "divide-and-conquer"…
