Nvidia has introduced a new humanoid robot model, which its senior research manager claimed as “the world’s first open foundation model for humanoid robots.”

“We are on a mission to democratize physical AI,” said Jim Fan on his LinkedIn post on Wednesday morning Singapore time.

Named GR00T N1, it uses a neural network that translates visual input into motor actions. Additionally, it features a Diffusion Transformer that executes motor actions at a frequency of 120 Hz.
