At COMPUTEX 2025, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang introduced the Isaac GR00T N1.5, the first major update to its open, customizable foundation model for humanoid robotics, alongside the innovative GR00T-Dreams blueprint.
Key Highlights
Isaac GR00T N1.5
- Enhanced Foundation Model: The GR00T N1.5 is an advanced iteration of NVIDIA’s platform for humanoid reasoning and skill acquisition, designed to be fully adaptable and open for customization.
- Improved Task Performance: This update significantly enhances success rates for common tasks in material handling and manufacturing environments.
- Deployment on Jetson Thor: The model is set to be integrated with NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor platform, expected to launch later in 2025.
GR00T-Dreams Blueprint
- Overcoming Human Demonstration Limits: Huang highlighted the scalability issue with human-led training, noting its constraint by time. The GR00T-Dreams blueprint tackles this by creating vast amounts of synthetic motion data from single images.
- Accelerated Development: Using compressed action tokens, the blueprint enabled NVIDIA to develop GR00T N1.5 in just 36 hours compared to nearly three months with conventional methods.
- This breakthrough underscores NVIDIA’s push to revolutionize humanoid robotics with faster, more efficient training processes, setting the stage for broader adoption in industrial applications.
