NS-0.1: baseline models for warehouse pick-and-place
Our first public checkpoint on the internal manipulation stack. Honest throughput and repeatability on real cells—not leaderboard scores on synthetic scenes.

Long tasks fail when policies have no notion of what happened sixty seconds ago. We add a short-term episodic buffer and a small latent cache for recurring subgoals.

Continuous actions can be discretized with piecewise-linear bins or learned vocabularies. We compare inference latency and tracking error on a 7-DOF arm doing contact-rich insertion.
