LingBot-Depth

Fact

An open-source spatial model from Ant's Robbyant that lets robots judge distance from plain photos.

In Plain Words

Depth cameras go blind on glass and mirrors. LingBot-Depth is like a carpenter who just eyeballs how thick a board is—it reads a plain photo and guesses how far things are.

Robots use it to grab clear or shiny objects. It fills in the depth the sensor missed.
