| Works across robots | yes | A Developer claim: Praxis-1 "a generalist policy model for robotics developers and researchers that works across any embodiment or environment". The early partners Noble Machines, Standard Bots and Ultra are "each running the model on their own hardware". 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. |
