GTC -- NVIDIA today announced Project GR00T,
a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robots, designed to
further its work driving breakthroughs in robotics and embodied AI.
As part of the initiative, the company also unveiled a new
computer, Jetson Thor, for humanoid robots based on the NVIDIA Thor
system-on-a-chip (SoC), as well as significant upgrades to the
NVIDIA Isaac™ robotics platform, including generative AI foundation
models and tools for simulation and AI workflow infrastructure.
“Building foundation models for general humanoid robots is one
of the most exciting problems to solve in AI today,” said Jensen
Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The enabling technologies are
coming together for leading roboticists around the world to take
giant leaps towards artificial general robotics.”
Robots powered by GR00T, which stands for Generalist Robot 00
Technology, will be designed to understand natural language and
emulate movements by observing human actions — quickly learning
coordination, dexterity and other skills in order to navigate,
adapt and interact with the real world. In his GTC keynote, Huang
demonstrated several such robots completing a variety of tasks.
Built for Humanoid RobotsJetson Thor was
created as a new computing platform capable of performing complex
tasks and interacting safely and naturally with people and
machines. It has a modular architecture optimized for performance,
power and size.
The SoC includes a next-generation GPU based on the NVIDIA
Blackwell architecture with a transformer engine delivering 800
teraflops of 8-bit floating point AI performance to run multimodal
generative AI models like GR00T. With an integrated functional
safety processor, a high-performance CPU cluster and 100GB of
ethernet bandwidth, it significantly simplifies design and
integration efforts.
NVIDIA is building a comprehensive AI platform for leading
humanoid robot companies such as 1X Technologies, Agility Robotics,
Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure AI, Fourier Intelligence,
Sanctuary AI, Unitree Robotics and XPENG Robotics, among
others.
“We are at an inflection point in history, with human-centric
robots like Digit poised to change labor forever. Modern AI will
accelerate development, paving the way for robots like Digit to
help people in all aspects of daily life,” said Jonathan Hurst,
cofounder and chief robot officer at Agility Robotics. “We’re
excited to partner with NVIDIA to invest in the computing,
simulation tools, machine learning environments and other necessary
infrastructure to enable the dream of robots being a part of daily
life.”
“Embodied AI will not only help address some of humanity’s
biggest challenges, but also create innovations which are currently
beyond our reach or imagination,” said Geordie Rose, cofounder and
CEO of Sanctuary AI. “Technology this important shouldn’t be built
in silos, which is why we prioritize long-term partners like
NVIDIA.”
Major Updates to Isaac PlatformThe Isaac tools
that GR00T utilizes are capable of creating new foundation models
for any robot embodiment in any environment. Among these tools are
Isaac Lab for reinforcement learning, and OSMO, a compute
orchestration service.
Embodied AI models require massive amounts of real and synthetic
data. The new Isaac Lab is a GPU-accelerated, lightweight,
performance-optimized application built on Isaac Sim specifically
for running thousands of parallel simulations for robot
learning.
To scale robot development workloads across heterogeneous
compute, OSMO coordinates the data generation, model training and
software/hardware-in-the-loop workflows across distributed
environments.
NVIDIA also announced Isaac Manipulator and Isaac Perceptor — a
collection of robotics pretrained models, libraries and reference
hardware.
Isaac Manipulator offers state-of-the-art dexterity and modular
AI capabilities for robotic arms, with a robust collection of
foundation models and GPU-accelerated libraries. It provides up to
an 80x speedup in path planning and zero-shot perception increases
efficiency and throughput, enabling developers to automate a
greater number of new robotic tasks. Among early ecosystem partners
are Yaskawa, Universal Robots, a Teradyne company, PickNik
Robotics, Solomon, READY Robotics and Franka Robotics.
Isaac Perceptor provides multi-camera, 3D surround-vision
capabilities, which are increasingly being used in autonomous
mobile robots adopted in manufacturing and fulfillment operations
to improve efficiency and worker safety as well as reduce error
rates and costs. Early adopters include ArcBest, BYD and KION Group
as they aim to achieve new levels of autonomy in material handling
operations and more.
The new Isaac platform capabilities are expected to be available
in the next quarter. Learn more about Project GR00T.
