PokeBot launches RoboAPI for real-world testing of Poke-Aurora

Embodied AI company PokeBot has launched RoboAPI, an interface that lets developers connect compatible robots to Poke-Aurora, its world-action model, and test it in their own environments without training a model from scratch or collecting extra data and tuning. The model takes in observations and instructions and generates predicted actions for the robot to execute. In a large-scale evaluation covering nearly 1,000 unseen objects and nearly 10,000 unseen tasks, Poke-Aurora reached an overall task success rate of 74.2%, beating pi0.5 by 51.3% and GPT-6 Astra by 16.4%. PokeBot was founded by Huazhe Xu, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University's Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences. The technical paper and product demo are out on October 30, Beijing time, and during the technical preview RoboAPI is available to eligible users on a noncommercial basis.
