- The company that produces artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Nvidia, has launched a hardware and software platform to build human-like robots with generative AI features.
The platform provided by Nvidia includes computer systems for robots and AI, plus software powered by generative AI and other tools to create “lifelike” robots like humans.
Nvidia announced the new platform at their annual developer conference in California.
The addition of generative AI software allows humanoid robots to act in response to language, videos, demonstrations by humans, and their experiences.
Nvidia is calling this platform Project GR00T. Generative AI components will be added to the software and hardware platforms for robots currently provided by Nvidia.
"These smarter, faster and better robots will be used in heavy manufacturing industries. We are working with simulation and robot ecosystems around the world to accelerate development and adoption," said Rev Lebaredian.
The supercomputer used to power generative AI software is called the “Jetson Thor.” This device is built using chips and other hardware made by Nvidia. The company claims Jetson Thor's computing power gives each robot the ability to perform complex tasks while being able to interact with other machines and humans.
The combined software device is named the platform “Isaac.” The GR00T's generative AI features are designed to work for "any type of robot in any environment." Isaac created software that embedded in robots can learn and be trained to make better decisions based on experience, processesknown as reinforcement learning.
Nvidia also announced that it will launch pre-trained robotic models in the near future. The robot is also planned to be equipped with software that makes its arms function better with multi-camera sensor capabilities.
