Key Announcements from NVIDIA at GTC 2025
- Isaac GR00T N1 – an open, customizable AI model designed for humanoid robots. It enables them to reason and act based on visual and language instructions. The model's architecture is inspired by human cognitive processes.
- Newton – an open-source physics engine for simulating complex robot movements, allowing for more expressive interactions and improved adaptation to physical objects.
- Blue – an anthropomorphic robot developed by NVIDIA in collaboration with Disney and Google DeepMind. Blue can perform advanced tasks, including object manipulation. It operates using the GR00T N1 AI model and the Newton engine.
The Star of the Show
The Blue robot, resembling droids from Star Wars, stole the spotlight. It took the stage, engaging in a playful "conversation" with Jensen Huang—responding with chirps and beeps. In a lighthearted moment, Huang asked Blue to stand next to him, and the robot obediently followed the command.During the presentation, Huang declared that the era of general-purpose robotics has arrived. He emphasized that NVIDIA's cutting-edge technologies and robot training platforms will empower developers worldwide to usher in a new chapter in AI evolution.
