CVPR 2025 unveils latest trends in AI, image and video synthesis, neural networks, and 3D computer vision

by

The IEEE Computer Society (CS) and Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) have reported that the 2025 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) closed with “record-breaking technical success”.

With the highest number of paper submissions ever – 12,008, a 13 percent increase over 2024 – and 9,375 registrants from 75 different countries and regions, CVPR provided an environment ripe for discovery, collaboration, and advancement.

“CVPR continues to set the bar for research in computer vision,” said Bryan Morse, CVPR 2025 General Co-Chair and Professor of Computer Science at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, US. “We can expect the research from this year’s event to be cited into the future.” [Read more…] about CVPR 2025 unveils latest trends in AI, image and video synthesis, neural networks, and 3D computer vision

Siemens advances autonomous production with new AI and robotics capabilities for automated guided vehicles

by

At automatica, the leading trade show for automation and robotics, engineering giant Siemens is set to reveal plans to integrate its Operations Copilot into driverless transport systems and mobile robots. The Operations Copilot is an industrial copilot for machine operation and maintenance.

As mobile transport robots increasingly operate as autonomous physical agents powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the Operations Copilot will serve as a user interface for humans.

Through this agent-based interface, users will be able to configure autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), assigning them tasks like transporting materials and goods across the shop floor.
