Singapore Vision Day 2026 Brings Together AI and Vision Research Community at NUS Computing
Singapore Vision Day 2026 returned to NUS School of Computing on 15 and 16 May, bringing together researchers, students, and industry practitioners for two days of talks, discussions, and research exchange across computer vision, graphics, embodied AI, multimodal AI, and robotics.
The event featured keynote talks by Prof Richard Hartley from the Australian National University and Prof Angela Dai from the Technical University of Munich, alongside presentations from researchers across Singapore and the region.
Researchers from institutions including NUS, NTU, KAIST, POSTECH, Seoul National University, Zhejiang University, ShanghaiTech, A*STAR, Tencent, and Salesforce contributed to the event through talks, panel discussions, and poster presentations.
Two panel discussions – on embodied AI and world models – drew active participation from attendees, reflecting growing interest in how AI systems perceive, reason about, and interact with the physical world.
Poster sessions and networking segments throughout the event also gave students, researchers, and industry practitioners the chance to exchange ideas and continue conversations beyond the talks.
Associate Professor Angela Yao, one of the organisers, shared, “We launched Singapore Vision Day to bring together academia, industry and students working in computer vision, to exchange ideas and build collaborations. Since the previous Singapore Vision Day three years ago, the AI landscape has changed significantly, with the emergence of foundation models, generative AI and embodied AI.”
“This year’s event reflects the growing breadth of the field. It also highlights the importance of creating platforms for such exchange. By bringing together speakers from both Singapore and across Asia, we hope to showcase the increasingly connected and collaborative nature of the region’s AI community,” she added.
Organised by Associate Professors Angela Yao and Gim Hee Lee from NUS Computing, Singapore Vision Day 2026 highlighted the growing energy and interconnectedness of the AI and vision research community across the region.
The event was supported by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
