OM-1 robot foundation model generalizes zero-shot from human-only data, no teleop

Reward AI introduced OM-1, its first robot foundation model that zero-shot generalizes to tabletop arms, industrial arms, and humanoids — learned purely from human manipulation data, no teleop, approaching human-level dexterity with multi-robot collaboration. A thread highlights the full-stack co-design: electromagnetic hand tracking instead of vision-only, purpose-built end-effectors, tactile + proximity sensing, and natural (not slowed) human motion, which demands very strong controllers.
