“The age of generalist robotics is here" - Nvidia's latest GROOT AI model just took us another step closer to fully humanoid robots

Nvidia has unveiled Isaac GROOT N1, described as the world's first open humanoid robot foundation model, at its GTC 2025 event. This advanced AI model aims to make developing smarter, more functional robots easier, with more humanoid reasoning and skills. The dual-system architecture mimics human cognition, with a fast-thinking action model and a slow-thinking model for deliberate decision-making. Nvidia claims this technology can help address global labor shortages and has applications in industries and entertainment.
