In the next 20 years, the market for humanoid robots is expected to grow to $38 billion. To meet this demand, especially in industries like manufacturing, NVIDIA is launching a set of tools to speed up the development of advanced humanoid robots. These tools include robot models, data systems, and simulation frameworks.

Imitation learning is a type of robot learning where humanoid robots learn new skills by watching and copying human experts. Gathering the large, high-quality data needed for this in the real world is difficult, slow, and expensive. The Isaac GR00T Blueprint allows developers to create huge amounts of synthetic data from just a few human demonstrations, making the process much easier and faster.
Starting with the GR00T-Teleop process, users can use the Apple Vision Pro to capture human actions in a digital environment. These actions are then copied by a robot in a simulation and recorded as accurate data.
Next, the GR00T-Mimic process multiplies the captured human actions to create a larger dataset of movements. Finally, the GR00T-Gen process, built on NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos platforms, expands this dataset even more using random variations and 3D upscaling.
This large dataset is then used to teach robots how to move and interact with their surroundings safely and effectively using the NVIDIA Isaac Lab, which is an open-source platform for robot learning.

NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, along with Omniverse and Cosmos, is helping make big progress in the development of AI and humanoid robots. Major robotics companies like Boston Dynamics and Figure are already using Isaac GR00T and showing results.
Humanoid software and robot makers can apply for early access to NVIDIA's humanoid robot developer program.
