A compact robot model just beat multi-sensor systems with one camera and no depth sensors
Mistral AI launches Robostral Navigate, a compact 8B model that lets robots navigate complex indoor environments using just one camera. It beats multi-sensor approaches by 4.5 points on the R2R-CE benchmark, runs on wheeled, legged and flying robots, and was trained efficiently with prefix-caching to slash token count 22-fold.
