Nvidia entered the bionic robot and launched the Project GR00T basic model
On the day of the GTC 2024 conference, Nvidia announced the launch of the PROJECT GR00T project of bionic robot general -purpose model. Today, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is not limited to generate AI such as large language models, but also the development direction of the general robot field is also regarded as an important prospect, helping to replace human labor in the future.
Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, said, "Establishing a basic model for GM bionic robots is one of the most exciting issues in the field of artificial intelligence today. Today, various technologies are gathered together, allowing leading global robotic experts to achieve a huge leap in the field of common robots. "
Nvidia GR00T technology is the abbreviation of General's GECHNOLOGY (General Robot 00 Technology). Robots using this technology can understand natural language and imitate by observing human movements, with coordination and flexibility. This robot can navigate, adapt and interact in the real world. In the GTC keynote speech, Huang Renxun demonstrated several such robots to complete various tasks. At the same time, Nvidia released a video to introduce GR00T's architecture and robot actual training scenarios.
Nvidia introduced Jetson Thor that day, which is a new computing platform that can perform complex tasks and interact safely and naturally with people and machines. The core of the robot is driven by the Blackwell architecture. It can provide 800TFLOPS 8 -bit floating -point computing performance for running a multi -modal -generated artificial intelligence model such as GR00T. The calculation module of the robot integrates functional security processors, high -performance CPU clusters, and 100GB Ethernet bandwidth, which significantly simplifies design and integration.
At present, Nvidia is creating a comprehensive artificial intelligence platform for the leading artificial intelligence platforms for 1X Technologies, Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Boston Power, etc.
It is understood that Nvidia has previously launched the ISAAC development platform to provide developers with a powerful end -to -end platform for developing, simulation and deployment of robots supporting AI. The newly launched GR00T can help to create a new basic model for any robot in any environment. The new ISAAC Lab application is an application based on ISAAC SIM -based GPU acceleration, lightweight, and performance optimization. It is specially used to run thousands of robots to learn parallel simulation.
It is understood that Nvidia released Isaac Manipulator and Isaac Perceptor at the same time that day, which is a series of robot pre -training models, libraries and reference hardware.
Nvidia said that the new ISAAC platform function is expected to be launched next quarter.
