- Amap, Alibaba's (BABA) location-based services platform, has released a full-stack upgrade to its ABot embodied AI system, introducing ABot-N1, ABot-M0.5, ABot-ER, ABot-AgentOS, and ABot-C0 to address key bottlenecks in embodied intelligence.
- The upgraded system is designed to improve navigation, manipulation, task reasoning, long-term memory, and motion control, and Amap claimed the system achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on 17 widely used benchmarks.
- ABot-N1, a general navigation foundation model, is aimed at helping robots move through open environments.
- ABot-N1 uses a dual-system architecture in which a slower module handles long-range reasoning and a faster module manages real-time control. When navigation errors occur, the model can fall back on visual judgment based on the slower module's reasoning.
