Earlier today Boston Dynamics unveiled the latest version of their ATLAS robot, now equipped with some insane dexterity.
But in order to make these humanoid robots useful in industrial and real world settings they’re going to need to be powered by more advanced AI with NVIDIA poised to lead the way there.
Tech Radar explains:
“The age of humanoid robots could be a significant step closer thanks to a new release from Nvidia.
The computing giant has announced the launch of Project GROOT, its new foundational model aimed at helping the development of such robots in industrial use cases.
Revealed at Nvidia GTC 2024, the company says its new launch will enable robots to be smarter and more functional than ever before – and they’ll do so by watching humans.
Announcing the launch of Project GROOT (standing for ‘Generalist Robot 00 Technology’) on stage at Nvidia GTC 2024, Jensen Huang, company founder and CEO revealed robots powered by the platform will be designed to understand natural language and emulate movements by observing human actions.
This will allow them to quickly learn coordination, dexterity and other skills in order to navigate, adapt and interact with the real world – and definitely not lead to a robot uprising at all.”
Let’s certainly hope not because as the latest Atlas video shows, we wouldn’t stand a chance.
Is Project GROOT the Greatest Idea Ever?
