2026/01 - Using Saliency for Efficient Movements

:sparkles:Scott gives a presentation on his work detecting saliency and using this information to help Monty move more efficiently. We discuss issues that arise without inhibition of return, as well as how this method could be modified to work well on compositional objects and more complex scenes.
