NVIDIA Unveils Gr00t: The Future of Humanoid Robots?
1 Jun
Summary
- NVIDIA launched the Gr00t open software and models for humanoid robot development.
- The platform uses a nearly 6-foot tall humanoid chassis with advanced Dexterity.
- Institutions like Stanford and ETH Zurich will utilize this new reference design.
NVIDIA has unveiled its Gr00t reference design, a new platform intended to accelerate the development of humanoid robots. This initiative was announced by NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, during his AI-palooza keynote.
The Gr00t platform is built upon a nearly 6-foot tall Unitree H2 humanoid chassis, weighing 150 pounds and featuring 31 degrees of freedom. It is equipped with Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands, offering 22 degrees of freedom and sophisticated sensing capabilities.
Powered by NVIDIA's Jetson AGX Thor T5000 onboard compute with a Blackwell GPU, the system is designed for advanced AI processing. The platform also includes NVIDIA's Gr00t open software and models, facilitating easier development workflows for researchers.
Several prominent institutions, including Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center, and UC San Diego, are slated to use the Gr00t reference design. This collaborative approach aims to foster rapid advancements in the field of humanoid robotics.
