Everyone is scaling VLAs with more robot data. TiPToP shows another path. No robot training, no policy learning. Just RGB + language → 3D scene → GPU TAMP planner → trajectory. Foundation models + planning alone can run real manipulation tasks.

Testing robot policies on hardware is slow, expensive and hard to scale. World models offer a promising path to accelerating robot policy development. We're sharing new research from the Runway Robotics team, in which we simulated 8 robot policies inside our General World Model and found 0.95 correlation with real-world results. Those early results point to world model simulation as a practical substitute for hardware evaluation, comparing favorably to existing real-to-sim approaches. Learn more at the link below.

So I heard we need more data for robot learning :) Purely real world teleop is expensive and slow, making large scale data collection challenging. I’ve been excited about getting more data into robot learning, going beyond just real-world teleop data. To this end, we’ve been scaling up data generation with RL in realistic simulations generated on the fly from crowdsourced videos. Enables realistic data collection, much more cheaply than purely real world teleop. Importantly, data collection becomes even*cheaper* with more environments, allowing training with over 100x more data. Transfers to real robots for generalizable manipulation. A 🧵 (1/N)

Evaluation is a critical bottleneck in building robot foundation models. Check out our latest work RoboLab, led by Xuning Yang, which addresses this exact challenge. Its a high-fidelity simulation environment for testing these models. A truly generalist policy should be able to complete these tasks zero-shot, and this benchmark highlights exactly how far we still have to go. More info 👇

Physics AI 🌊 Jensen just unveiled the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot at GTC Taipei--the world’s first open-source humanoid robot reference design Built on Jetson Thor edge computing and the Isaac GR00T open platform, it features a Unitree H2 Plus body with Sharpa five-finger dexterous hands and 75 degrees of freedom. Even before Physical AI truly explodes, NVIDIA has built a complete end-to-end full-stack infrastructure: >chips (Jetson Thor + Blackwell), >synthetic data (GR00T-Dreams), >world models (Cosmos), >foundation models (GR00T N-series VLA), >high-fidelity simulation platforms (Isaac Sim + Isaac Lab + Omniverse). Dozens of humanoid robot companies ,including Agility Robotics, Aglie robotics,Boston Dynamics, Figure, 1X, NEURA Robotics, XPENG Robotics, and more are already running large-scale daily simulation training on this platform, rapidly iterating perception, reasoning, and actions in virtual environments, speeding up the jump from lab prototypes to real factory deployment. By providing an open reference design and full-stack tools, NVIDIA has dramatically lowered the barrier, letting every robotics team join the Physical AI wave with low cost and high efficiency.

Today is the beginning of our moonshot to solve embodied AGI in the physical world. I’m so excited to announce Project GR00T, our new initiative to create a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robot learning. The GR00T model will enable a robot to understand multimodal instructions, such as language, video, and demonstration, and perform a variety of useful tasks. We are collaborating with many leading humanoid companies around the world, so that GR00T may transfer across embodiments and help the ecosystem thrive. GR00T is born on NVIDIA’s deep technology stack. We simulate in Isaac Lab (new app on Omniverse Isaac Sim for humanoid learning), train on OSMO (new compute orchestration system to scale up models), and deploy to Jetson Thor (new edge GPU chip designed to power GR00T). Announced in Jensen's keynote, Project GR00T is a cornerstone for the “Foundation Agent” roadmap of the newly founded GEAR Lab. At GEAR, we are building generally capable agents that learn to act skillfully in many worlds, virtual and real. See if you can spot "GEAR" in the video ;) Join us on the journey to land on the moon.

Over the last few months, we’ve been thinking about how to learn from “off-domain” data - data from non-robot sources like video or simulation. These data sources are not quite good enough to learn policies (even monolithic VLA models) directly, but they still contain lots of information that can be useful for generalizable robot control. How can we develop robot learning models that are able to make use of this type of data for generalizable control? In new work, that we call HAMSTER, we show that VLMs can be useful for enabling robotic learning from off-domain data, but specifically when used through hierarchical VLA architectures. We show that this class of models can learn generalizable robot policies for the real world from large-scale, off-domain data. A 🧵 (1/10)

Training robot foundation models faces two key hurdles: how to get enough data to train an effective model, and how to make sure that new skills can be acquired quickly. The team at Rhoda AI believes that the answer is training Direct Video Action models from web data. Web data is plentiful, to the point where Rhoda can train their base model on hundreds of years of video data. And then, with the addition of robot data, they can quickly adapt it to new tasks with as little as 20 hours of in-domain data, performing complex, multi-step manipulation tasks with their purpose-built video foundation model. Tongzhou Mu 🤖🦾🦿 Eric Chan and Changan Chen joined us to talk more about their approach. Watch Episode #79 of RoboPapers, with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc, Chris Paxton, and Jiafei Duan, to learn more!
