Odaily reports: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at the GTC conference in Taipei that the company has selected China's Unitree as its first humanoid robot AI platform partner for universities and research institutions. Together, they will launch the Isaac GR00T reference design, accelerating the arrival of the "Physical AI" era.The platform deeply integrates Unitree's H2 humanoid robot (approximately 1.8 meters tall, weighing 68 kg) with Nvidia's Jetson Thor computing platform, Blackwell GPU, Isaac GR00T model, and simulation software. It is also equipped with Singapore-based Sharpa's dexterous hand. The platform is open to top global research institutions, with the first batch including Stanford, ETH Zurich, UCSD, and Ai2. Jensen Huang emphasized that this initiative aims to lower the barrier to entry for humanoid robot development by providing an out-of-the-box, full-stack development environment. He believes that "Physical AI" will be the next wave following generative AI, with a long-term market size potentially reaching tens of trillions of dollars.The upgraded version, the H2 Plus, is expected to be available and open for general sale in October 2026. Notably, Unitree is planning an IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market), aiming to raise 4.2 billion yuan.
