Physical Intelligence (RewardAI) introduced OM-1, its first robot foundation model that zero-shot generalizes to any robot embodiment — tabletop arms, industrial arms, and humanoids.
Key points:
- Learned directly from human manipulation data, with no teleop or robot-specific data
- Claims near human-level dexterity and efficiency
- Supports multi-robot collaboration
Commenters praised the hardware-software co-design behind its dexterity and reactivity, while noting skill generalization remains the next frontier.
