Welcome to this week’s edition of Machine Vision Insider, where we're digging into some exciting vision tech that's changing the game, from farming to robotics to logistics.

Check out how machine vision is helping to tackle weeds sustainably in agriculture. Then listen to our Visions podcast with our Senior Editor Jim Tatum and GridRaster’s Dijam Panigrahi to learn how vision language models (VLMs) are making robots smarter and manufacturing smoother. In case you missed it, in our latest Focus on Vision segment, Justine Murphy takes a look at LiDAR tech, defense via machine vision AI, and survey results from robotics developers.

And you don’t want to miss our webinar on 3D machine vision for logistics and warehousing with David Dechow—coming up on June 18 at 11 am EDT.

As always, our OptiLex word game serves up a fresh five-letter machine vision puzzle each week, inviting rapid, competitive hypothesis testing against your technical lexicon. Would you like us to include a hint each week? Let me know at [email protected].

Until next time, stay curious.
