NVIDIA just revealed MotionBricks, a new AI model trained on more than 350,000 motion clips. What’s really impressive is that the same model can animate a digital character and control a humanoid robot in the real world.

🚀 Galbot just released AstraBrain-WBC 0.5, the world’s first humanoid robot cerebellum foundation model. Trained on 20,000 hours of human motion data, it validates a Scaling Law for robot motion control and demonstrates zero-shot execution of unseen motions on real humanoids. The era of robot control foundation models is getting closer.

NVIDIA MotionBricks brings humanoid robots closer to natural, fluid movement The system combines a modular latent generative model with Smart Primitives, packing more than 350,000 motion skills into a single backbone. It runs in real time at up to 15,000 FPS with just 2ms latency. Navigation, object interaction, sitting, jumping, obstacle crossing, and even different movement styles can be composed zero-shot, like reusable motion modules. It is already being used for whole-body control on the Unitree G1 and serves as the motion layer for NVIDIA GR00T Whole-Body Control. What makes this interesting is the move from training individual behaviors toward building a shared library of motion capabilities. If that approach scales, robot movement could become more modular, transferable, and easier to deploy across different tasks and environments.

Researchers developed Hitter, a humanoid robot that can play table tennis in real-world settings. It was trained on the Unitree G1 robot to predict the ball’s path, choose the right shot, and react in less than a second. In tests, it achieved 106 consecutive shots with a human and even rallied with another humanoid robot.

A humanoid robot policy trained solely on synthetic data generated by a world model. Research Scientist Joel Jang presents NVIDIA's DreamGen pipeline: ⦿ Post-train the world model Cosmos-Predict2 with a small set of real teleoperation demos. ⦿ Prompt the world model to generate synthetic video data with verbs and scenarios not used in the world model’s post-training. ⦿ Auto-label synthetic video data with action sequences. ⦿ Train robot policies using only synthetic data. That's it. Deploy zero-shot to a real humanoid robot.

you're cooked if you're still doing single-character swapping and motion control. multiple character swaps + motion control - ONLY on Viggle. yes, we're the only AI video model that can do this. and we just launched our newest model V4 examples + tutorial + links below 👇

The World Model as NEO's Cognitive Core 1X has revealed a major AI development where the NEO humanoid can translate any natural language prompt into robotic action. It demonstrates this capability even for novel tasks, objects, and environments not found in its robot dataset. - the 1X World Model is trained on internet-scale human interaction videos and fine-tuned with robot data to ground its understanding in physics and in NEO's embodiment - from a simple voice or text prompt, the world model generates a visualization of future actions - a built-in inverse dynamics model then translates these into precise motor movements for NEO
