Nvidia's Role in the Next Generation of Humanoid Robots

One often-repeated phrase at this year's Nvidia GTC was "Physical AI," the kind of AI that allows robots to operate effectively in the physical world. To get there, Nvidia offers its Isaac GR00T N1, an open-source foundation model that is pre-trained with some of the basics and broken down into a fast system for taking action and a slow system for planning action. Demonstration of how teleoperation can be useful in teaching robots new skills Nvidia For teaching robots new tasks, lots of varied data is needed. Tele-operation and video demonstrations are important but usually not enough. Synthetic data generated from training in simulation helps fill the gap, and this is where Nvidia's Omniverse with Cosmos comes in. "Omniverse is a platform that brings together data between different sources and allows you to build a digital twin that's physically accurate," says Akhil Docca, senior project marketing manager for Omniverse. "Cosmos is important because it allows not only the augmenta ... Read full article.
