Physical Intelligence unveils OM-1, a robot foundation model trained purely on human data
zipengfu · x · 2026-09-15
Physical Intelligence has introduced OM-1, its first robot foundation model that zero-shot generalizes across table-top arms, industrial arms, and humanoids.
Key points:
- Learned directly from human manipulation data — no teleoperation or robot-collected data
- Claims near human-level dexterity and efficiency, with multi-robot collaboration
- Observers call it the smoothest manipulation policy at this dexterity level, almost like an industrial arm, with notably natural whole-body control
