During the #ArabCup2025 🇶🇦

@QmicQatar successfully deployed its Smart Parking Management System, in coordination with the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy in Qatar.

The system contributed effectively in the organization and management of parking operations throughout the tournament.

The system is fully developed in Qatar and is a national solution that has proven its reliability across several major events in the country, most recently the Arab Cup.

It leverages AI and machine vision through a wireless camera network system, proudly developed in Qatar.

خلال #كأس_العرب2025 🇶🇦

نجح @QmicQatar في نشر نظام إدارة المواقف الذكي، وذلك بالتنسيق مع اللجنة العليا للمشاريع والإرث في دولة قطر.

ساهم النظام بفاعلية في تنظيم وإدارة عمليات المواقف طوال فترة البطولة.

النظام مطوّر بالكامل في قطر ويُعد حلًا وطنيًا، وقد أثبت موثوقيته في عدد من الفعاليات الكبرى في الدولة، كان آخرها كأس العرب.

يعتمد النظام على تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي والرؤية الحاسوبية عبر شبكة كاميرات لاسلكية.

🤖 iREX 2025 – Tokyo Big Sight 🇯🇵

It was awesome to explore the latest and greatest in robotics and intelligent systems.

One of the most noticeable advancements this year was the wide availability of humanoid robots from various manufacturers, especially Chinese companies, which leverage various locally built QDD motors.

I shared some images and highlights from the innovations that stood out to me.

Tokyo once again demonstrated its strong vision for the future of robotics and automation.

Meta just dropped SAM 3D, but more interestingly, they basically cracked the 3D data bottleneck that's been holding the field back for years.

Manually creating or scanning 3D ground truth for the messy real world is basically impossible at scale.

But what if you just have humans rank model outputs? Route the weird edge cases to actual 3D artists to model, loop it back in. Suddenly you can annotate like a million images.

It's basically RLHF for 3D reconstruction. Synthetic data is pretraining, real world ranking is alignment. They borrowed the whole damn playbook and it actually works.

Two models - one for objects/scenes, one for humans. They're already shipping it in FB Marketplace so you can see if that lamp or chair looks good in your room before buying.

Also they're releasing everything - models, code, their human body rig under commercial license. And they built an eval set of actual messy real-world images to help bridge the sim-to-real gap.

The data engine thing is the most interesting though. 3D has been bottlenecked by ground truth forever. If verification scales easier than creation, suddenly the whole game changes.
