The future of AI-powered humanoid robots is here, and NVIDIA is taking a bold step forward with the launch of Isaac GR00T N1, the world’s first open, fully customizable foundation model designed for humanoid reasoning and skills. But NVIDIA isn’t doing it alone—Google DeepMind and Disney Research have joined forces to advance robotic intelligence through a powerful new physics engine called Newton.

The collaborations aim to address a growing labor shortage and redefine what robots can do across industries. With an estimated 50 million workforce gap worldwide, humanoid robots powered by AI could soon be stepping in to fill critical roles.

NVIDIA’s GR00T N1 (Generalist Robotics 00 Technology) is the first of many models designed to train and develop humanoid robots capable of performing general tasks. It works on a dual-system AI model that mimics human cognition:

The AI is trained using massive amounts of real and synthetic data, enabling it to generalize across different tasks. From picking up objects and transferring them........
