I Told a Robot to "Clean the Kitchen", and It Actually Did
A new robot project called NavMind allows users to command a virtual robot to clean specific rooms using plain English.

The project highlights both the capabilities and challenges of developing robotics software without relying on cloud services or physical hardware.

- ▪The project was developed entirely on a personal laptop without cloud services or physical robots.
