Building Robotic Systems With Three Computers
For humanoid robots to autonomously pick, pack, and transport items, as well as perform intricate maintenance tasks across various industries, a three-computer framework is vital: one to create the AI, one to simulate the AI, and one to run the AI.
Project GR00T utilizes NVIDIA’s three-computer robotics stack. This includes NVIDIA AI and DGX for training the model, NVIDIA Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim for robot learning in simulation environments, and the NVIDIA Jetson Thor high-performance computing platform, designed for humanoid robots, with Isaac ROS for accelerated robot runtime.
AI
NVIDIA DGX
NVIDIA DGX Cloud is an end-to-end AI platform for developers, giving you scalable capacity built on the latest NVIDIA architecture and co-engineered with the world’s leading cloud service providers.
Simulation
NVIDIA Isaac Lab
NVIDIA Isaac Lab is an open-source unified framework for robot learning to train robot policies. Apply reinforcement learning and imitation learning techniques to any type of robot embodiment.
Runtime
NVIDIA Jetson Thor
Jetsonâ„¢ Thor was built to expedite the development of advanced humanoid robot development and run multimodal AI models for humanoid robots. Jetsonâ„¢ Thor was built on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and comes with an integrated functional safety processor, a high-performance CPU cluster, and 100Gb of Ethernet bandwidth.
Advancing Humanoid Robot Development With GR00T Workflows
With Project GR00T, NVIDIA is building advanced technology, tools, and workflows that can be used standalone or together based on humanoid robot developer needs. These enhancements contribute to the development of more intelligent, adaptive, and capable humanoid robots, pushing the boundaries of what these robots can achieve in real-world applications.

Model Operation
Project GR00T enables humanoid embodiments to perform tasks from multimodal instructions and dynamically react to the world through self-observation.
Development and Training
The model uses multimodal learning from a variety of data sources—including instructions, demonstrations, video, and imitation learning for robots—to acquire new skills, accelerating the development of humanoid robots.
NVIDIA Isaac Lab is ideal for training Project GR00T at scale. You can also take advantage of the NVIDIA OSMO robot cloud computing orchestration service to coordinate workflows across NVIDIA DGX systems for training, NVIDIA OVX systems for simulation, and NVIDIA IGX systems for hardware-in-the-loop validation.
