## Summary

Robot.com has released the R-KNav dataset and launched the FoMo Challenge, inviting the community to train visual navigation models on real data from its R-kiwi sidewalk delivery robot fleet and to evaluate them in controlled tests on physical robots.

## Why it matters

The data comes from a long-running commercial delivery fleet rather than simulation, and the KPI criteria for physical-robot evaluation have been published, making it possible to assess the reusability of real-street navigation data.
