Nvidia on Monday introduced a {hardware} and software program platform for constructing human-like robots that features generative synthetic intelligence options.
The new platform will include a pc system that can energy the robotic and AI, plus a bundle of software program together with genAI and different instruments so as to construct robots which are human-like, the corporate mentioned at its annual developer convention.
The addition of genAI will let the humanoid robots take actions based mostly on inputs with a mix of language, video, “human demonstrations,” and previous experiences. Called Project GR00T, the genAI parts will add to the corporate’s present {hardware} and software program platform for robotics.
“These smarter, faster, better robots will be deployed in the world’s heavy industries,” mentioned Rev Lebaredian, Vice President, Omniverse and Simulation Technology, in a briefing with reporters. “We are working with the world’s entire robot and simulation ecosystem to accelerate development and adoption.”
The highly effective pc behind the genAI software program is known as the “Jetson Thor” and relies round one of many firm’s AI chips and different {hardware}. The pc will give a robotic sufficient computing horsepower to carry out advanced duties and work together with folks and machines, the corporate mentioned.
The suite of software program instruments is known as the “Isaac” platform, and the brand new GR00T genAI options are designed to function for “any robot embodiment in any environment,” it mentioned. The instruments embody the flexibility to prepare the software program to make higher selections over time, a course of generally known as reinforcement studying.
Nvidia additionally mentioned it might launch pre-trained robotics fashions and different software program that can enhance robotic arm features and multi-camera sensing capabilities.
