News Summary:

NVIDIA announces an open humanoid robot reference design built on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T platform, combining a Unitree H2 Plus humanoid robot, Sharpa five-fingered hands for dexterous manipulation, NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard compute for advanced reasoning and control, and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T open software and models. The Isaac GR00T development platform — spanning data capture and generation to robot model evaluation and deployment — helps researchers and developers accelerate humanoid development workflows. Leading research institutions including Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center and UC San Diego’s Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory will use the reference design to advance frontier humanoid robotics research.
