NVIDIA As part of his AI-palooza Computex keynote, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang dove into the most relatable form of artificial intelligence: robots. The company announced the new Isaac Gr00t reference design humanoid robot platform that combines a Unitree H2 Plus humanoid robot, Sharpa five-fingered hands and NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard compute. That's tied together with NVIDIA's Gr00t open software and models designed to help "researchers and developers accelerate humanoid development workflows."
The platform uses a nearly 6-foot tall Unitree H2 humanoid chassis that weighs 150 pounds, with 31 degrees of freedom across the body. (The H2 model is listed on Unitree's website for $29,900, though the company has only shown renders on its website). The Gr00t developer platform will also support the cheaper Unitree G1 humaoid robot. NVIDIA first revealed its Gr00t N1 foundational model in March.
