FF EAI says its robot AI took first place on RoboColiseum’s simulation leaderboard
The company reports a 0.8698 score for OmniMind and describes a design that separates understanding instructions, locating targets and planning movement. The result is company-reported, not independently verified.

Story brief
3 key pointsFF EAI is positioning OmniMind’s top RoboColiseum result as support for its staged approach to robot control: interpreting instructions, locating targets in 3D, then planning motion. In a Nov. 8 update, the company reported a score of 0.8698/1 as of Nov. 6, with instruction following strongest (~0.99) and spatial reasoning weakest (0.92). The result comes from simulation, not real-world robot trials, and the release provides no independent verification; physical deployment remains a stated development goal.

FF EAI reported a 0.96 score for robustness to disturbances, alongside 0.99 for instruction following and 0.92 for spatial reasoning.

CEO YT Jia said the architecture separates instruction interpretation, 3D perception, and motion planning so each stage can be checked and optimized.

The company attributed the result to its design, but reported no experiment isolating which stage drove the leaderboard performance.
FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem says its OmniMind robot AI reached first place on RoboColiseum’s global leaderboard as of November 6, 2026. The company reported a score of 0.8698 out of 1 in the simulated evaluation, presenting the result as evidence of progress in the software that interprets instructions and directs robot movement.
The result was disclosed in a November 8 business update from founder and CEO YT Jia, published through PR Newswire. It is a company-reported benchmark result: the release does not include independent verification of the performance claims. RoboColiseum tests embodied AI—AI that controls a machine’s actions—in simulation rather than through this announcement’s real-world robot trials.
Jia highlighted three component scores alongside the overall result. They cover following instructions, reasoning about space and remaining robust when disturbances occur. FF EAI reported its highest figure among those three in instruction following, with spatial reasoning the lowest.
FF EAI reported approximately 0.99 for instruction following.
FF EAI reported 0.92 for spatial reasoning.
FF EAI reported 0.96 for robustness to disturbances.
Jia attributed OmniMind’s performance to a layered architecture and programmatic execution: carrying out a task through distinct software-controlled steps. He contrasted that design with a typical vision-language-action approach, in which a single model generates actions directly. FF EAI’s description instead assigns separate jobs to instruction interpretation, perception and movement planning.
- Interpret the request. The model works out the instructions before the later stages determine where and how to move.
- Locate the target. A 3D perception stage identifies the target’s position, separating that job from interpreting the instruction.
- Generate a path. Motion planning determines the route the robot should take to carry out the task.
The practical advantage, according to Jia, is that the team can check, analyze and optimize each step separately as the robot performs a task. That is the company’s explanation for its design choice, rather than a separate experimental finding showing which stage produced the leaderboard advantage.
Jia said the team would keep using evaluation feedback to improve OmniMind and its robot skills. He also described real-world deployment as part of the continuing development effort. Those are the next steps he set out; the numerical result announced here concerns performance inside the simulator.
