Nvidia humanoid ambition
Nvidia (NVDA) is driving rapid development through an ecosystem built specifically for humanoids. It combines high-powered chips that process data at high speeds with the omniverse, a digital world that allows users to train robots on skills applied in the real world.

Those advancements have helped supercharge development at Apptronik, one of a handful of robotics companies Nvidia has partnered with. The company recently achieved a big milestone at its Austin headquarters when its humanoid robot, Apollo, autonomously performed tasks trained through visual learning. The machine was seen picking up a pair of socks and a hat and packing it into a box. A task that once took thousands of hours to train on took just 10 hours, according to the company.
“If we build big data sets of humans doing tasks in these environments and we have robots with the same morphology as a person, then that allows us to have robots that can do a whole wide range of tasks over time,” said Cardenas.作者: sec2100 時間: 2024-8-12 21:04
Humanoids have already begun taking their first steps into reality. Musk has said two Optimus robots are working at Tesla’s Fremont factory, and he expects a few thousand to be deployed by next year. Amazon (AMZN) has partnered with Oregon-based Agility to utilize its Digit robot at a test facility. Apptronik is working with Mercedes-Benz to integrate Apollo into its manufacturing line.作者: sec2100 時間: 2024-8-12 21:06
“It needs to be economical, it needs to be intelligent, and it needs to be safe,” he said. “If those three conditions are met, then there’s no reason why every home should not have at least one humanoid or more.”
