Enhanced 6D pose estimation method promises better robotic object handling
0

Recent work in 6D object pose estimation holds significant promise for advancing robotics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), as well as autonomous navigation. The research, published in the International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering, introduces a method that enhances the accuracy, generalization, and efficiency of determining an object’s rotation and translation from a single image. This could significantly improve robots’ ability to interact with objects, especially in dynamic or obstructed environments.Recent work in 6D object pose estimation holds significant promise for advancing robotics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), as well as autonomous navigation.

Why HoneyBook’s $140M in ARR may finally justify its $2.4B ZIRP-era valuation

HoneyBook, a startup last valued in late 2021 at $2.4 billion, told TechCrunch that it hit $140 million annualized recurring revenue (ARR). This makes HoneyBook one of the few startups with peak-VC-era valuations to report their financials after the market cooled.  Many startups that raised in 2021 and not since remain under pressure to generate […]HoneyBook, a startup last valued in late 2021 at $2.4 billion, told TechCrunch that it hit $140 million annualized recurring revenue (ARR).
