The age of robotics kicked off Tuesday during Nvidia’s latest keynote presentation, and, at least for now, it’s open source.
The AI titan introduced GR00T N1 — the world's first open-source foundation model designed specifically for humanoid robots. Think of GR00T as a universal software brain behind robots, enabling them to perform everyday tasks like picking up objects, pouring drinks, or even flipping pancakes.
Unlike simpler robots built for repetitive factory tasks, GR00T is designed to help robots handle complex, unpredictable environments — basically, real life.
Why go open source? A few reasons. First, Nvidia wants developers worldwide to build on its tech, speeding up robotics innovation. By also releasing massive training data — from videos of daily tasks to virtual robot simulations — Nvidia helps robots learn real-world scenarios better.
GR00T also stands out by blending cheaper simulated data with hands-on experience, helping robots train better for real world d...
