NVIDIA’s Isaac GR00T puts a ready-to-train humanoid in researchers’ hands
At GTC Taipei, Jensen Huang unveiled a reference humanoid that pairs Unitree’s H2 Plus body and Sharpa five-fingered hands with NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor compute and open Isaac GR00T models — a single robot labs can buy, plug in and train. Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford and UC San Diego are first in line, with units shipping from Unitree late this year.
Why it matters: Turning humanoid robotics into an off-the-shelf platform could do for robots what reference designs once did for PCs.
