buildOne report1 publisher Reward AI's OM-1 pushes each robot's dynamics into a simulation-trained controller
The model reads hand trajectories, tactile and proximity data from a seven-degree-of-freedom wearable, then emits motion direction, speed, force and grasp timing. Per-machine execution goes to a second controller trained in simulation.

Feagine's Fi0 bets the durable asset in robotics is task knowledge, not the arm
The cross-embodiment model treats a robot's body as an input rather than a fixed assumption. For buyers, that turns hardware selection into a question about what transfers.
