Nvidia releases GR00T N1, an open foundation model for humanoids

Nvidia announced Isaac GR00T N1, which it described as the first open and fully customisable foundation model for humanoid reasoning and skills. Its dual design couples a slower vision-language planner with a fast action model trained on human demonstrations and synthetic data, and the training data was published on Hugging Face and GitHub. 1X showed a household tidying demo built on the model for its NEO Gamma robot. Nvidia also said it was developing the Newton physics engine with Google DeepMind and Disney Research, which Disney planned to use for its robotic characters.
