The electronics giant plans to use humanoids running NVIDIAs GR00T foundation model on its production lines, marking a significant test for the "simulation-first" approach to robotics.

Bernt Børnich, CEO of 1X Technologies, discussed on the NVIDIA AI Podcast how their humanoid robot, NEO, is designed to learn and operate safely alongside humans, with a consumer launch planned for 2025 focusing on household chores and collaborative development with early adopters. This follows earlier announcements about home pilot programs and Børnich's broader vision for humanoid assistance.

NEURA Robotics, SAP, and NVIDIA have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate SAP's business AI and NVIDIA's digital twin technology with NEURA's cognitive robots. The partnership aims to create 'physical Business AI,' enabling robots to act on real-time enterprise data and perform complex tasks autonomously via the Neuraverse platform.

UC Berkeley researchers unveil VideoMimic, a novel system enabling humanoid robots to learn context-aware skills like stair climbing and sitting from ordinary videos, offering a new path for robot training and drawing comparisons to efforts by Tesla and NVIDIA.

NVIDIA unveils Isaac GR00T N1.5 and new simulation tools, pushing the boundaries of humanoid robot learning and tackling the 'Physical Turing Test' with synthetic data generation.
