This is a huge for the #EventCamera community! #BYD has just announced a new “flash-shot” camera for its next-generation intelligent driving stack, reportedly capable of up to 1000 fps with less than 1 ms latency
Why is this important?
For years, the event-camera and #NeuromorphicVision community has argued that autonomous systems should not be limited by conventional frame-based perception. In fast, safety-critical scenarios, milliseconds matter. Waiting tens of milliseconds for the next frame can be too slow when a pedestrian, cyclist, or vehicle suddenly appears. As recently shown in a Nature paper, the best is to combine both events and frames for low-latency and low-bandwidth automotive vision: https://t.co/iRNpgJr2jn
Whether BYD’s implementation is event-based, event-inspired, or a custom ultra-high-speed vision sensor, the message is clear: low-latency visual perception is moving from research labs into large-scale automotive deployment.
This is exactly the direction many of us have been advocating for more than a decade: cameras that do not just “see” the world, but react to visual changes with extremely low latency.
A major signal for the future of autonomous driving and a very exciting moment for everyone working on event cameras, neuromorphic vision, and high-speed robotic perception!
Btw we are hiring multiple PhD students and postdocs on event-based vision for automotive, autonomous vehicles, space, drones and more ;) Apply: https://t.co/T82J0Schvw

@marceloclaure Adelante Marcelo eres un buen ejemplo para las nuevas generaciones. Uno se mira al espejo y se dice y yo que hice, cuál es mi contribución.
🎾 WeRide returns to the 2026 French Open with @renaultgroup for a 3rd straight year. Our L4 Robobus – still the only autonomous public shuttle service on-site – runs May 24 to June 7 on a 2.8 km route across 3 stops, including night service.

@gabgpa@marceloclaure Ay ay todos buscan yacimientos. Y cómo remplazar los metales raros. A veces la ignorancia total y el dogmatismo virgo nos hace hablar tonteras.
Today, MIT & the IMO released MathNet, the world’s largest dataset of International Math Olympiad problems & solutions 🌍
MathNet is 5x larger than previous datasets & is sourced from over 40 countries across 4 decades: https://t.co/vvojP7Fu9t
I see every week on X an announcement or demo which implies that robotic manipulation has been solved. The only reason I don't believe it is because manipulation had already been solved last week by somebody else! So may I propose the "5 year old paired comparison test" ? At the next conference let's set up a number of tables to which you can bring your robot hardware. Next to it we will have another table where there will be a 5 year old child. In parallel we will try 100 different manipulation tasks that a neutral person has chosen- we could start with "pick up anything" - only household objects (e.g. as might be found in a typical American home) will be used, and we compare the performance of your robot with that of the 5 year old. Can you pick up a coin? Or a book? Or untwist a bottle top? Or insert any plug into a matching socket? Rotate one face of a Rubik's cube? Until your robot can do all the "open world manipulation" that a 5 year old kid can, some humility is in order.
Rapid progress in world model space. This paper uses point tracks as representation, enabling long range forecasting of animal motion. Led by my PhD student @neerjathakkar from her GDM internship.
