Robostral Navigate is an 8B, hardware-agnostic model that navigates offices, homes, and outdoor sites from one RGB camera plus language prompts, hitting 76.6% on unseen R2R-CE and beating multi-sensor systems while costing less. Trained entirely in simulation on about 400K trajectories across 6,000 scenes, then refined with online RL. The builder signal is the training recipe: sim-only plus RL is now producing single-camera policies that outperform depth and multi-cam rigs. A frontier LLM lab crossing into embodied AI is its own signal too.
