On October 30, 2026, Daxiao Robotics and Nanyang Technological University S-Lab released the world model Mundo. According to a report by Shangguan News that day, the model is built for specific environments and can expand 1 to 12 images into explorable, interactive three-dimensional scenes, and writes physical properties such as object mass and friction into the scene program, with motion and collisions calculated by a physics engine, supporting the editing of objects, properties, and actions with code. The report stated that Mundo has been used to reconstruct hotel floors and laundry areas, providing a simulation environment for robot navigation and manipulation training. A Sina Tech report on November 2 further stated that Mundo is a supplement to Daxiao Robotics' "Kairos" world model system, and that the relevant project page and technical blog have gone online.

Daxiao Robotics and Nanyang Technological University S-Lab Release World Model Mundo
Xuhui embodied intelligence company Daxiao Robotics, in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University S-Lab, released the world model Mundo, which requires only 1 to 12 real photographs or short videos to reconstruct indoor 3D spaces such as offices and home rooms, and supports free roaming and physical collision interaction. The model can write physical parameters such as object mass and friction into the scene; users can pull open drawers, push tables and chairs, and throw objects through code, and the physics engine calculates motion and collision results. The system can also synchronously output the robot's first-person and third-person views and retain motion trajectories and interaction data. Mundo is a supplement to Daxiao Robotics' "Kairos" world model system. The company has attempted to reconstruct a hotel floor environment, simulating tasks such as opening doors and picking up and placing objects to carry out robot simulation training. The relevant project page and technical blog have been launched.

Daxiao Robotics and NTU S-Lab Release World Model Mundo
Daxiao Robotics recently partnered with the S-Lab at Nanyang Technological University to release Mundo, a world model built for specific environments that supports scene reconstruction, free-viewpoint exploration, and spatiotemporal simulation. By inputting 1 to 12 images, it can generate an explorable 3D scene around room furniture and spatial structure; the same set of reference images can support multiple camera paths, and in large scenes it can continuously generate frames ranging from tens of seconds to minutes. Mundo also configures physical properties such as mass and friction for objects through scene programs, with a physics engine computing push-and-collision responses, and supports robots practicing navigation and manipulation in the same scene, complementing its world model technology system centered on Kairos.

Daxiao Robotics and Nanyang Technological University Jointly Release World Model Mundo
Daxiao Robotics, in collaboration with the S-Lab at Nanyang Technological University, has released Mundo, a world model built for specific environments that supports scene reconstruction, free-viewpoint exploration, and spatiotemporal simulation. Mundo can write physical properties such as object mass and friction into scene programs, with a physics engine computing motion, contact, and collision, and supports invoking agents to edit objects, properties, and actions in the scene using code. Inputting 1 to 12 images is sufficient to construct an explorable three-dimensional space; the same set of reference images supports multiple camera paths, and larger scenes can continuously generate exploration footage ranging from tens of seconds to the minute level.
