Description

NeRD is a foundation model that combines photorealistic visual understanding with dynamic simulation to enhance humanoid robot intelligence. Instead of treating perception and physics separately, it unifies both in a single model. Consequently, robots can interpret how objects look and predict how they behave when interacted with. Moreover, this integrated approach improves task accuracy in scenarios that require careful interaction, such as manipulation and repositioning of items.

In addition, NeRD enables forward-looking predictions of object behavior. Therefore, robots can plan movements in advance and avoid unstable actions. This anticipatory capability improves both control and confidence in complex environments. By generating highly realistic representations, the model bridges the gap between simulation and real-world execution. As a result, NeRD supports more precise, reliable, and adaptable humanoid behavior across a variety of tasks.
