NVIDIA has announced a suite of new services, models, and computing platforms to accelerate the development of humanoid robots. These advancements aim to support robot manufacturers, AI model developers, and software makers in building the next generation of humanoid robotics, leveraging NVIDIA's cutting-edge technologies.
Among the new offerings are NVIDIA NIM™ microservices, which include MimicGen and Robocasa for enhancing simulation workflows and generating synthetic motion data. "The next wave of AI is robotics and one of the most exciting developments is humanoid robots," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "We’re advancing the entire NVIDIA robotics stack, opening access for worldwide humanoid developers and companies to use the platforms, acceleration libraries, and AI models best suited for their needs."
NVIDIA OSMO, a cloud-native managed service, simplifies the orchestration of complex robotics development workflows, reducing deployment and development cycle times significantly. This service allows users to manage tasks such as generating synthetic data, training models, and conducting reinforcement learning at scale.
To further enhance humanoid robot development, NVIDIA has introduced an AI- and simulation-enabled teleoperation workflow. Demonstrated at the SIGGRAPH conference, this workflow allows developers to train robots using a minimal amount of human demonstration data, significantly cutting costs and development time.
The NVIDIA Humanoid Robot Developer Program provides early access to these new technologies, including the latest releases of NVIDIA Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Isaac Lab, Jetson Thor, and Project GR00T humanoid foundation models. Companies such as 1x, Boston Dynamics, ByteDance Research, and others have already joined the program.
“Developing humanoid robots is extremely complex — requiring an incredible amount of real data, tediously captured from the real world,” said Alex Gu, CEO of Fourier. “NVIDIA’s new simulation and generative AI developer tools will help bootstrap and accelerate our model development workflows.”
NVIDIA’s comprehensive offerings for humanoid robot development are now available through the Humanoid Robot Developer Program, enabling developers to leverage advanced AI and simulation tools to drive innovation in the robotics industry.
