Nvidia shows off Project GR00T, a multimodal AI to power humanoids of the future
In his GTC keynote, Jensen Huang demonstrated multiple GR00T-powered humanoid robots, including those from Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Fourier Intelligence and Unitree Robotics.
According to Nvidia, it has been designed to understand natural language text, speech, video and live demonstrations to emulate human movements — coordination, dexterity and other skills — and produce general actions to navigate, adapt and interact with the real world. Just recently, Figure even released a video that showed one of its robots handling routine chores, such as picking up garbage with the help of a large vision-language model (VLM) trained by the Sam Altman-led research lab. Nvidia is offering the technology through its Nova Orin DevKit and is already working with multiple partners, including ArcBest, BYD and KION Group, to help them advance their autonomous mobile robot functions in manufacturing and fulfillment.
