Zipeng Fu of Physical Intelligence introduces OM-1, their first robot foundation model that zero-shot generalizes across table-top arms, industrial arms, and humanoids.
Highlights:
- Learned directly from human manipulation data — no teleop or robot-collected data
- Near human-level dexterity and efficiency
- Supports multi-robot collaboration
If the claims hold, training general robot policies purely from human data marks a notable step for embodied AI.
