What’s really neat is that the slow-thinking part of the Groot N1 helps robots take in what’s happening around them, decide what to do, and plan their moves like a boss né?. Plus, they’re throwing in some simulation frameworks and blueprints to cook up some rad training data. This bad boy is like a jack-of-all-trades trained with both super cool synthetic and real data. The Groot N1 is rocking a “dual-system architecture” inspired by how our brains work, letting robots be quick on their feet while also making thoughtful decisions.
This Groot N1 is an upgraded version of Nvidia’s Project Groot, which at first was all about industrial stuff né?. But hey, they’ve expanded the horizons to all sorts of human-shaped robots now. Meet the Groot N1, unveiled at the GTC 2025 event in San Jose. Nvidia just dropped the bomb with a brand new AI model tailor-made for humanoid robots né?. And then, the fast-thinking system kicks in and makes those plans real, like moving objects around step by step.
Nvidia is being generous by making the Groot N1 an open-source model. While the road ahead is no walk in the park these companies are betting that mass-produced humanoid robots are just around the corner.
. According to Nvidia’s big guy CEO Jensen Huang “The age of generalist robotics is here.”
Humanoid robots have been catching eyes lately with companies like X1 and Figure putting in work to create robots that can move and groove like us humans
