Natura-1: A Foundation Model for the Physical World
Robot hands remain the hard part: picking things up is easy, but placing glasses into a case correctly while holding it open is not. NatureWill released Natura-1, a foundation model for the physical world.
Natura-1 was tested for 30 minutes, one take and no cuts, handling complex spoken instructions, unfamiliar tasks and environments while retrying failed actions autonomously.
Natura-1 Trains Robot Hands on 1M Hours of Human Video
Nature Will trained its Natura-1 model on 1 million hours of egocentric, first-person video of people using their hands, then used it to control real robots — a strong attempt at giving robots capable hands.
