00:00Welcome to GTC!

00:15Amazing things are born in simulation.

00:18Today we're introducing NVIDIA Isaac Groot N1.

00:24Groot N1 is a generalist foundation model for humanoid robots.

00:31Groot N1 features a dual system architecture for thinking fast and slow, inspired by principles

00:38of human cognitive processing.

00:41The slow thinking system lets the robot perceive and reason about its environment and instructions,

00:48and plan the right actions to take.

00:51The fast thinking system translates the plan into precise and continuous robot actions.

00:59Groot N1's generalization lets robots manipulate common objects with ease and execute multi-step

01:06sequences collaboratively.

01:09And with this entire pipeline of synthetic data generation and robot learning, humanoid

01:14robot developers can post-train Groot N1 across multiple embodiments and tasks across

01:22many environments.

01:25I told you the progress of our robotics has been making enormous progress.

01:30And today we're announcing that Groot N1 is open-sourced.

01:36And so today we're announcing something really, really special.

01:41It is a partnership of three companies, DeepMind, Disney Research, and NVIDIA, and we call it

01:49Newton.

01:56Let's take a look at Newton.

02:26Tell me that wasn't amazing.

02:30Hey, Blue.

02:32How are you doing?

02:34How do you like your new physics engine?

02:37You like it, huh?

02:39Yeah, I bet.

02:41I know.

02:43Tactile feedback, rigid body, soft body simulation, super real-time.

02:50Can you imagine just now what you were looking at, this complete real-time simulation?

02:55This is how we're going to train robots in the future.

02:58Just so you know, Blue has two computers, two NVIDIA computers inside.

03:05Look how smart you are.

03:07Yes, you're smart.

03:09Okay.

03:11All right.

03:13Stand right here.

03:15Stand right here.

03:17All right, good.

03:19Right there.

03:21That's good.

03:23Okay, stand.

03:53All right.
