NVIDIA has released Cosmos 3 Edge, a 4-billion-parameter open world model built to run on-device. It helps robots and vision AI agents understand surroundings, reason in real time, and generate robot actions locally. The Cosmos 3 family included Cosmos 3 Nano (16B) and Cosmos 3 Super (64B) shipped on May 31, 2026 at GTC Taipei.…

Robbyant, the embodied AI unit inside Ant Group, has released the LingBot-VA 2.0.The first embodied-native foundation model. It describes a video-action foundation model for generalist robot manipulation. The research team pretrains the whole stack for embodiment instead of fine-tuning a video generator. What is LingBot-VA 2.0? Most video-action models reuse two components built for digital…

Mistral AI has released Robostral Navigate, its first model built for embodied navigation. The 8B model takes RGB images and a plain-language instruction, then moves a robot. Notably, it reaches 76.6% success on R2R-CE validation unseen using only a single RGB camera. What is Robostral Navigate? Robostral Navigate is an 8B model for robotic navigation…

Traditional robot programming is hard to scale. It requires orchestrating multimodal perception, physical contact dynamics, diverse configurations, and execution failures by hand. Code-as-policy systems let language models compose these into executable robot programs. That makes robot behavior inspectable, editable, and debuggable. But existing robotic coding agents run in naive execution environments. They receive only coarse,…

The Qwen team has released three embodied AI models, grouped as Qwen-Robot-Suite. The three are Qwen-RobotManip, Qwen-RobotWorld, and Qwen-RobotNav. Each is built on a Qwen vision-language backbone and targets a different robotics problem. Qwen-RobotManip is a Vision-Language-Action model for manipulation, built on Qwen3.5-4B. Qwen-RobotWorld is a language-conditioned video world model with a 60-layer MMDiT and…

NVIDIA AI team have released Cosmos 3. It is a family of omnimodal world models for physical AI. The models combine physical reasoning, world generation, and action generation. All three capabilities live inside one open model. NVIDIA open sourced the checkpoints, training scripts, deployment tools, and datasets. The Cosmos 3 release targets robotics, autonomous vehicles,…

Genesis AI released Genesis World 1.0. The platform consists of four components: the Genesis World physics engine, Nyx (a real-time path-traced renderer), Quadrants (a Python-to-GPU compiler), and a simulation interface. It is designed to accelerate robotics foundation model development through simulation-based evaluation. Robotics model development has two bottlenecks: data and iteration speed. The field has…

Top 10 Physical AI Models The gap between language model capabilities and robotic deployment has been narrowing considerably over the past 18 months. A new class of foundation models — purpose-built not for text generation but for physical action — is now running on real hardware across factories, warehouses, and research labs. These systems span…

Google DeepMind research team introduced Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, a significant upgrade to its embodied reasoning model designed to serve as the ‘cognitive brain’ of robots operating in real-world environments. The model specializes in reasoning capabilities critical for robotics, including visual and spatial understanding, task planning, and success detection — acting as the high-level reasoning model…
