From this article, you will learn more about the Gr00t project. The project aims to accelerate the development of robotic learning using artificial intelligence.

NVIDIA announces Project GR00T: A base model for humanoid robots

NVIDIA, a global leader in GPU technology, has announced Project GR00T, a base model for humanoid robots. The project aims to further accelerate breakthroughs in robotics and artificial intelligence. As part of the initiative, NVIDIA also unveiled a new computer called Jetson Thor, designed specifically for humanoid robots.

What is Project GR00T?

Project GR00T is a general-purpose model that enables humanoid robots to learn in simulation and in the real world. With GPU acceleration, GR00T transforms robot learning through techniques such as imitation learning, reinforcement learning and video analysis.

Robots powered by GR00T, which stands for Generalist Robot 00 Technology, will be designed to understand natural language and mimic movements by observing human actions. They will quickly learn coordination, dexterity and other skills to move, adapt and interact with the real world. In his keynote at the GTC conference, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated several such robots performing a variety of tasks.

We are at a turning point in history where robots, will change our world forever.

Jetson Thor: A computer made for humanoid robots

Jetson Thor is a new computing platform capable of performing complex tasks and interacting safely and naturally with humans and machines. It has a modular architecture optimized for performance, power and size. NVIDIA’s SoC (system-on-a-chip) builds 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. Jonathan Hurst, co-founder and chief robotics officer at Agility Robotics, said:

„We are at a turning point in history where human-centric robots such as Digit will change work forever. Modern artificial intelligence will accelerate development, paving the way for robots to help humans in all aspects of daily life.”

To Make a Long Story Short:

Most of us have already had the opportunity to use AI . We’ve generated funny and delightful images, and some of us use robots to clean our houses.

However, the GR00T project is more than that. This platform enables a robot to be trained, even before a company physically creates it. This means a significant acceleration in the production of advanced humanoid robots. What’s more, given the latest reports from Open AI, the robots will be equipped with GPT-5, an advanced language model. We are entering the era of super-intelligent robots. Are you ready for this revolution?
