🚨 BREAKING: NVIDIA just announced the Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot. The first fully open humanoid robot reference design built on Jetson Thor, and it's going straight to the world's top research institutions. This is Jensen Huang's bet on open physical AI infrastructure. The hardware stack is serious: → Unitree H2 Plus chassis, 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, 31 degrees of freedom → Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands, 22 degrees of freedom, bringing total to 75 across the full body → NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor onboard compute, 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance, 128GB unified memory → Multi-view sensing, stereo head camera, wrist cameras, IMU Alongside this announcement, Unitree also introduced the H2 Plus as a standalone product, a frontier humanoid combining Unitree's own body, Sharpa's five-finger hands and NVIDIA Robotics Jetson Thor compute into one fully integrated research platform. The full Isaac GR00T software stack ships with it, teleoperation for data capture, open foundation models, Isaac Sim for training, Isaac Lab for evaluation, and accelerated ROS middleware for deployment. The complete loop from data to real-world robot in one unified platform. ETH Zürich, Stanford Robotics Center, UC San Diego and Ai2 are already on board as launch research partners. NVIDIA Robotics did to AI what it's now doing to robotics, build the platform, open the ecosystem, let the world build on top of it. Whoever owns the infrastructure layer wins. NVIDIA knows this better than anyone. 👀 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Two years ago, Wang Xingxing launched the Unitree H1 humanoid robot. Instead of a mere prototype demonstration, he made the robot immediately available for purchase. At the time, the decision seemed audacious. Why would anyone buy a full-sized humanoid at that stage? As it turned out, the H1 and subsequent Unitree models became the preferred platforms for researchers worldwide. This bold strategy advanced China's position in the global robotics race, while the affordability of high-performance hardware has accelerated progress across the field by enabling broader experimentation in embodied AI.

Check out the new interactive humanoid robot, Yogi, introduced by Cartwheel Robotics. Yogi is designed as a companion for everyday life, offering help and companionship in settings from hospitals to living rooms. It features soft silicone skin for safe touch, precision actuators for predictable movement, and simple, natural interaction. The robot continuously learns new abilities for greater utility. Cartwheel's founder, Scott LaValley, has a deep background, having developed over four humanoid systems. His expertise includes nearly a decade developing the Atlas robot at Boston Dynamics, followed by five years at Disney leading the team that created the Groot robot. This extensive, hands-on experience is key to Cartwheel Robotics' innovations.
