    Natural Will releases first physical general foundation model Natura-1, 50-billion-parameter MoE drives 20-DoF dexterous hand

    Natural Will has released Natura-1, its first general foundation model for the physical world. It is a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model pretrained on 1 million hours of first-person human experience data. Taking language and vision as input, it can drive a 20-DoF dexterous hand within a 100-millisecond control loop and follow complex natural-language instructions zero-shot.

    How to Share a Phone's Network with the RDK S100 via USB

    A hands-on record of sharing a phone's network with the RDK S100 over USB. The author first checked the documentation to confirm the interface limits: the Type-C (J16) port can only act as a Device, and the USB3.0 Type-A ports (J19/J20) can only act as a Host, so the phone must be connected to a Type-A port with the board acting as host. Since the official documentation does not cover this path, the author checked on the S100 whether the kernel includes the rndis_host, cdc_ether, and cdc_ncm drivers, then provided executable steps.

    Leju Robotics debuts general-purpose dexterous hand solution at CIIF, repeat positioning accuracy 0.03 mm

    At the 26th China International Industry Fair, which opened in Shanghai on October 12, Leju Robotics debuted a scenario solution centered on a general-purpose humanoid body plus a general-purpose dexterous hand. The dexterous hand has a repeat positioning accuracy of 0.03 mm, a payload of no less than 24 kg, and supports 7+N grasping forms. The accompanying Taskor industrial deployment solution supports drag-and-drop graphical action programming with no coding required, shortening single-machine deployment time from months to hours; the Kuafu 5W operating body was developed based on more than 100 industrial scenarios and has passed EMC and 3B certification. More than 10 leading industry customers, including FAW, Hisense, and China Logistics, have already subscribed.

    trikset/trik-mind releases v26.10.11

    trik-mind has released version v26.10.11, fixing a crash where model loading failures caused the program to exit unexpectedly; it now catches the error, shows a plain-language message, and keeps the program running. The new version supports English, Russian, and Spanish interfaces, covering all 30+ user-facing strings, and adds agent discipline rules, release scripts, a pre-push hook, and release notes based on signed tags, removing the dependency on opencode/LLM.

    Physical Intelligence opens Pi API beta, offering π model training and inference

    Physical Intelligence has opened the Pi API beta, allowing developers to upload data, fine-tune π models on the company-managed compute and infrastructure, and then run inference through a hosted gateway; the current interface already offers more data-efficient fine-tuning and improvement capabilities.

    Why it matters: Pi API brings data upload, fine-tuning, and hosted inference into one ready-made pipeline, helping readers weigh building their own machine learning infrastructure against calling the API directly.
