ACE Robotics and NTU S-Lab unveil Mundo world model for robot training

ACE Robotics and NTU S-Lab have introduced Mundo, a novel world model capable of generating editable 3D scenes with physics simulations from just one to twelve photographs of a real-world location. This technology allows for the rendering of robot navigation and manipulation within these generated environments. The project's code and model weights are slated for release by the end of November.
