July 8 (Reuters) - ⁠Paris-based Mistral AI ⁠on Wednesday unveiled its ‌first robotics model as Europe's leading AI company pushes into ​factories, warehouses and industrial ⁠automation.

The launch ⁠follows Mistral's acquisition of Austria's ⁠Emmi ‌AI in May and comes ⁠months after Paris-based startup Genesis ​AI ‌unveiled a broader robotics ⁠model ​with navigation and manipulation capabilities.

• Robostral Navigate enables ⁠robot navigation using ​a single camera

• System does not require lidar, advanced ⁠sensors or multiple-camera setups

• Designed to work with robots from different suppliers

• ​Focused on ⁠navigation rather than object ​handling or ‌manipulation
