Introducing Robostral Navigate

Mistral AI 1 week ago

Robostral Navigate is an 8-billion parameter model that enables robots to autonomously navigate complex environments using only a single RGB camera and natural language instructions. The model achieved 76.6% success on unseen R2R-CE benchmarks, outperforming multi-sensor systems by 4.5 percentage points while using neither depth sensors nor LiDAR. The approach generalizes across different robot types and enables autonomous navigation in real-world settings like offices and commercial buildings without encountering obstacles during training.

MolmoAct 2 shows what open models can unlock for robotics

Allen Institute (AI2) 1 week ago

MolmoAct 2, an open-source AI model for robotics, enabled developers at a hackathon to build voice-controlled robots that performed tasks without specific training in just ten days. The model includes complete artifacts such as weights, training code, and fine-tuning scripts on public platforms like Hugging Face and GitHub. The availability of this general-purpose model represents a shift in robotics by providing the community with accessible tools for building adaptable robot systems.
