Nvidia unveiled a hardware and software platform with generative artificial intelligence capabilities for creating humanoid robots. At its annual developer conference, the company said it will unveil a platform consisting of a computer system that powers a robot and AI, as well as software tools such as genAI.
The addition of genAI will let the humanoid robots take actions based on inputs with a combination of language, video, "human demonstrations," and past experiences. Called Project GR00T, the genAI components will add to the company's existing hardware and software platform for robotics.
"These smarter, faster, better robots will be deployed in the world's heavy industries," said Rev Lebaredian, Vice President, Omniverse and Simulation Technology, in a briefing with reporters.
"We are working with the world's entire robot and simulation ecosystem to accelerate development and adoption." he added.
With its powerful computer known as "Jetson Thor," the genAI program represents a significant advancement in artificial intelligence. It facilitates communication between robots and humans as well as complex task completion.
The "Isaac" platform, which comprises a variety of tools to enable robots to operate in any setting, includes this program.
The software's ability to learn and improve its decision-making over time, much like people do via experience, is one neat feature. In general, genAI is increasing the intelligence and utility of robots in various contexts.
