O3N is a novel framework that performs open‑vocabulary occupancy prediction from a single omnidirectional RGB image. It introduces a polar‑spiral voxel embedding (PsM) for continuous 360° spatial representation, an Occupancy Cost Aggregation (OCA) module that unifies geometric and semantic supervision, and a Natural Modality Alignment (NMA) pathway that aligns visual, voxel, and text features. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art results on QuadOcc and Human360Occ benchmarks, with strong cross‑scene generalization and semantic scalability.

Visual Perception Engine (VPEngine) is a modular framework that enables efficient GPU usage for robotic vision tasks by sharing a foundation model backbone across multiple specialized task heads. It eliminates redundant feature extraction, supports dynamic task prioritization, and achieves up to 3× speedup over sequential execution. The open‑source Python implementation, with ROS2 C++ bindings, delivers real‑time performance (≥50 Hz) on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX using TensorRT‑optimized models.

SenseFuse introduces a label‑free fusion approach that balances 2D image and 3D shape encoders for open‑vocabulary 3D instance segmentation. By selecting a scene‑level fusion weight through an adaptive, sensitivity‑based mechanism, it improves mask labeling accuracy across multiple datasets, recovering up to 93% of the potential gain from an oracle weight. The method demonstrates that image and shape encoders have complementary failure patterns, leading to higher instance AP in most evaluated settings.
