Perceptron released Isaac 0.5, an open-weight vision model designed to help robots perceive, reason and act in industrial environments such as warehouses and factory floors. The startup said the model can support navigation and extract visual information from robot-recorded video. Its parameters and training materials are available for inspection. Perceptron, founded by two former Meta researchers, recently raised $21 million in a round led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
