World models and robotics emerged as the dominant research paradigms.
Positive users are excited that vision is now robotics and world models at CVPR 2026, while negative users find the declaration depressing amid concerns over academia and AI-generated papers.

@Ferbin08 For robotics that makes of course sense, and of course I love that direction, but there's also many non-robotics use cases in vision.

@MattNiessner Vision papers that crush test footage get humbled by mud, rust, weird angles.
Real robots live in that gap.
That's the actual story behind 'vision is now robotics.'

@pretendsmarts Nope was not the intention - it was actually quite exciting :)

@MattNiessner At least for those 3, let's hope things will not stay that way for long: - no best papers for academia - AI generated papers vs AI reviews - academia still no GPUs

@MattNiessner The more things change the more they remain the same.

@MattNiessner Pretty spot on @MattNiessner
