Personally, it is shocking how quickly robots are improving especially with their dexterity and reasoning.

World’s first native color LiDAR gives machines human-like vision
By Omar Kardoudi
May 14, 2026

For years, machines have navigated the world color-blind. LiDAR sensors – the laser-based eyes of self-driving cars, industrial robots, and inspection drones – build precise 3D maps of their surroundings, but everything is built of monochrome geometric shapes. Ouster's new Rev8 sensor family aims to change that, not by bolting a camera onto a LiDAR unit, but by fusing color directly into every point of data the sensor captures.

Autonomous perception systems generally fall into two camps: camera-only arrays – like the vision system Tesla uses for its underwhelming Full Self Driving tech – or a two-step sensor fusion approach with LiDAR for precise geometry, a camera for color, and a software algorithm to combine them. That stitching process introduces calibration errors, latency, and spatial mismatches – a problem that becomes critical when a robot or vehicle is moving fast through a crowded street.

Anyone watching this?

This kind of work should be done by robot. It isn't moral to expect humans to do this kinds of shit.
