Nature Will unveils Natura-1, a 50B-parameter robot foundation model

Nature Will introduces Natura-1, a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model for dexterous robot manipulation.

The company says it was pretrained on one million hours of egocentric human video, then post-trained on a limited amount of robot data to adapt it to manipulation tasks.

Nature Will says the resulting model generalizes to a wide range of unseen scenarios. A report on the launch says Natura-1 follows natural-language instructions zero-shot and controls real robot hands, including fine two-handed control, new tasks and long sequences. These performance claims come from the company and have not been independently verified.
