With Automate still clear in our rearview and Vision Stuttgart coming into focus on the horizon, the machine vision community is steeped in some great conversations. Listen to one of them in this week's Visions podcast, where Senior Editor Jim Tatum talks with Overview AI's CEO Christopher Van Dyke about AI machine vision for manufacturing.

Also in this week's Machine Vision Insider, David Chen from Orbbec takes a look at how material and surface properties impact 3D sensor accuracy. And in a Q&A with Kevin Wang, we learn about UnitX's AI-powered smart camera for real-time vision intelligence at the edge.

Looking ahead, expect to see more content focused on physical AI—where advanced machine vision systems enable robots and automation to perceive, learn, and adapt dynamically to their environments. Some exciting times are ahead in this community of ours.

Have a great week. Until next time, stay curious.
