| Input and output | ||
| Model type | not stated | Note Nature Will's own term: "Natura-1 is our first general foundation model for the physical world." A |
| Inputs | camera language | Developer wording: "It takes in language and vision and drives 20-DoF dexterous hands within a 100-millisecond control loop." Vision = camera, language = language. A |
| Controls | arms and hands | Developer wording: "It takes in language and vision and drives 20-DoF dexterous hands within a 100-millisecond control loop." Test platform: "On our dual-arm platform (ROKAE AR5 with Wuji hands)". A |
| Degrees of freedom controlled | not stated | Note The figure is per hand, not a count for the whole setup: "It takes in language and vision and drives 20-DoF dexterous hands within a 100-millisecond control loop." Test platform: "On our dual-arm platform (ROKAE AR5 with Wuji hands)". A |
| Size and speed | ||
| Parameters | 50B | Developer wording: "Natura-1 is a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model pretrained on more than one million hours of egocentric human experience." A |
| Control rate | not stated | Note The page gives a loop time, not a rate: "It takes in language and vision and drives 20-DoF dexterous hands within a 100-millisecond control loop." A |

| On robot or cloud | not stated | |

| The developer’s own claims | ||
| Learns new tasks | without examples | Developer claim: "It is a single model that follows plain language instructions zero-shot and carries them out with dexterous hands." The adaptation to a robot hand is a separate step: "we conduct efficient post-training on a limited amount of robot data to adapt pretrained world knowledge to dexterous manipulation". Six long-horizon tasks "use additional tuning on top of Natura-1; all other results share the same weights". A |
| Works across robots | not stated | Note The page's tests use one platform with dexterous hands: "On our dual-arm platform (ROKAE AR5 with Wuji hands)". A Yes only if the developer itself says the model runs on different robot models, for example robots from two manufacturers or two of one manufacturer’s models. Several units of the same robot do not count. |
How to read the figures
- 50HzA
- The letter in the grey square after a figure points to the source the figure came from. Pages with several sources carry several letters.
- 50HzB
- A dashed letter marks a secondary source – a datasheet, manual or developer documentation from the manufacturer, or a press report used only where the manufacturer gives no figure.
Notes
- Nature Will describes Natura-1 as its first general foundation model for the physical world.
- The Nature Will website footer carries a Beijing ICP registration number.
- humanoid.guide reports that Nature Will released Natura-1 on 13 October 2026.
