SIGGRAPH—To accelerate humanoid development on a
global scale, NVIDIA today announced it is providing the world’s
leading robot manufacturers, AI model developers and software
makers with a suite of services, models and computing platforms to
develop, train and build the next generation of humanoid robotics.
Among the offerings are new NVIDIA NIM™
microservices and frameworks for robot simulation and learning, the
NVIDIA OSMO orchestration service for running multi-stage robotics
workloads, and an AI- and simulation-enabled teleoperation workflow
that allows developers to train robots using small amounts of human
demonstration data.
“The next wave of AI is robotics and one of the
most exciting developments is humanoid robots,” said Jensen Huang,
founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “We’re advancing the entire NVIDIA
robotics stack, opening access for worldwide humanoid developers
and companies to use the platforms, acceleration libraries and AI
models best suited for their needs.”
Accelerating Development With NVIDIA NIM
and OSMO NIM microservices provide pre-built containers,
powered by NVIDIA inference software, that enable developers to
reduce deployment times from weeks to minutes. Two new AI
microservices will allow roboticists to enhance simulation
workflows for generative physical AI in NVIDIA Isaac Sim™, a
reference application for robotics simulation built on the NVIDIA
Omniverse™ platform.
The MimicGen NIM microservice generates
synthetic motion data based on recorded teleoperated data from
spatial computing devices like Apple Vision Pro. The Robocasa NIM
microservice generates robot tasks and simulation-ready
environments in OpenUSD, a universal framework for developing and
collaborating within 3D worlds.
NVIDIA OSMO, available now, is a cloud-native
managed service that allows users to orchestrate and scale complex
robotics development workflows across distributed computing
resources, whether on premises or in the cloud.
OSMO vastly simplifies robot training and
simulation workflows, cutting deployment and development cycle
times from months to under a week. Users can visualize and manage a
range of tasks — like generating synthetic data, training models,
conducting reinforcement learning and implementing
software-in-the-loop testing at scale for humanoids, autonomous
mobile robots and industrial manipulators.
Advancing Data Capture Workflows for
Humanoid Robot Developers Training foundation models for
humanoid robots requires an incredible amount of data. One way of
capturing human demonstration data is using teleoperation, but this
is becoming an increasingly expensive and lengthy process.
An NVIDIA AI- and Omniverse-enabled
teleoperation reference workflow, demonstrated at the SIGGRAPH
computer graphics conference, allows researchers and AI developers
to generate massive amounts of synthetic motion and perception data
from a minimal amount of remotely captured human
demonstrations.
First, developers use Apple Vision Pro to
capture a small number of teleoperated demonstrations. Then, they
simulate the recordings in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and use the MimicGen
NIM microservice to generate synthetic datasets from the
recordings.
The developers train the Project GR00T humanoid
foundation model with real and synthetic data, enabling developers
to save time and reduce costs. They then use the Robocasa NIM
microservice in Isaac Lab, a framework for robot learning, to
generate experiences to retrain the robot model. Throughout the
workflow, NVIDIA OSMO seamlessly assigns computing jobs to
different resources, saving the developers weeks of administrative
tasks.
Fourier, a general-purpose robot platform
company, sees the benefit of using simulation technology to
synthetically generate training data.
“Developing humanoid robots is extremely complex
— requiring an incredible amount of real data, tediously captured
from the real world,” said Alex Gu, CEO of Fourier. “NVIDIA’s new
simulation and generative AI developer tools will help bootstrap
and accelerate our model development workflows.”
Expanding Access to NVIDIA Humanoid
Developer Technologies NVIDIA provides three computing
platforms to ease humanoid robotics development: NVIDIA AI
supercomputers to train the models; NVIDIA Isaac Sim built on
Omniverse, where robots can learn and refine their skills in
simulated worlds; and NVIDIA Jetson™ Thor humanoid robot computers
to run the models. Developers can access and use all — or any part
of — the platforms for their specific needs.
Through a new NVIDIA Humanoid Robot Developer
Program, developers can gain early access to the new offerings as
well as the latest releases of NVIDIA Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Isaac Lab,
Jetson Thor and Project GR00T general-purpose humanoid foundation
models.
1x, Boston Dynamics, ByteDance Research, Field
AI, Figure, Fourier, Galbot, LimX Dynamics, Mentee, Neura Robotics,
RobotEra and Skild AI are among the first to join the early-access
program.
“Boston Dynamics and NVIDIA have a long history
of close collaboration to push the boundaries of what’s possible in
robotics,” said Aaron Saunders, chief technology officer of Boston
Dynamics. “We’re really excited to see the fruits of this work
accelerating the industry at large, and the early-access program is
a fantastic way to access best-in-class technology.”
Availability Developers can
join the NVIDIA Humanoid Robot Developer Program now to get access
to NVIDIA OSMO and Isaac Lab, and will soon gain access to NVIDIA
NIM microservices.
