Today we cover three standout arXiv releases shaping vision, language, and evaluation. First, PANORAMA surveys the rise of omnidirectional, 360° perception for embodied AI—why standard pinhole vision isn’t enough, where datasets and models fall short, and how new backbones and adaptation methods are closing the gap.
