NVIDIA unveils GR00T 2 robot model and Isaac Lab 3.0

NVIDIA says it completed 40 of 50 evaluated tasks at least once without task-specific demonstrations, and reached 71% average success across 50 tasks with one demonstration each, rising to 95% with five. The company also released Isaac Lab 3.0, its open source robot-learning framework, which adds switching between the PhysX and Newton physics solvers, a reinforcement post-training library for foundation models, and Newton-based modeling of deformable objects such as cables and cloth. A Video to Data workflow and the EgoHand hand-motion model are also available. Foxconn, Siemens and Nexuni are testing GR00T 2.
