GTC 2024: NVIDIA releases first humanoid robot model

At NVIDIA’s annual GTC developer event, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unveiled a humanoid robot plan called Project GR00T, which includes the world’s first humanoid robot prototype design. He stressed that this GR00T humanoid robot basic model has unique functions. It can understand and parse natural language with the help of language, video input and human behavior demonstration, and copy human behavior. On this basis, it can quickly master coordination, flexibility, etc. A variety of capabilities to adapt to the actual environment and interact with humans.

At the conference, Lao Huang showed a series of cases of intelligent humanoid robots using GR00T technology. These robots come from companies such as Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Fourier Intelligence and Unitree Robotics. Successfully completed various tasks.

In addition, NVIDIA has released the Jetson Thor development kit specifically for humanoid robots specifically for such high-complexity multi-modal application requirements. The core of this kit is the NVIDIA Thor system-on-chip, which integrates a high-performance CPU core group and a new generation GPU based on the Blackwell architecture, with an AI computing power of up to 800 Teraflops (eighty billion floating-point operations per second).

At the same time, NVIDIA has also upgraded its own ISAAC robot platform, aiming to build a comprehensive end-to-end solution for developers to support the development, simulation testing and deployment of artificial intelligence robots. It can support thousands of robots for simultaneous training and simulation operations. Finally, Huang further revealed that Nvidia has joined hands with BYD to begin cooperation in the research and development of warehouse automation robots based on the ISAAC platform.
