RLWRLD unveils ‘dexterity-first’ foundation model for humanoid robots

May 15, 2026 by David Edwards

RLWRLD, a physical AI company developing robotics foundation models for dexterous manipulation, unveiled RLDX-1 at “Dexterity Night in SF”, introducing a model designed to help humanoid robots perform contact-rich tasks such as grasping, pouring and tool use.

The company also reported benchmark results across humanoid tabletop, kitchen manipulation and real-world coffee-pouring evaluations, and said the model runs across multiple robot embodiments including WIRobotics’ Allex humanoid, Franka Research 3 and OpenArm.

At the launch event, Amit Goel, head of robotics ecosystem and edge AI product at Nvidia, took the stage and said: “RLWRLD is one of the core partners in the physical AI ecosystem we are building at Nvidia.” [Read more…] about RLWRLD unveils ‘dexterity-first’ foundation model for humanoid robots
