Project GR00T (Generalist Robot 00 Technology) announced at GTC 2024 keynote — Jensen Huang on stage with humanoids from Agility, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure, Sanctuary, Unitree, XPeng; framed as 'Android of robotics' foundation model

Jetson Thor robotics SoC unveiled at GTC — based on Blackwell GPU architecture, 800 TFLOPS (FP8) for transformer inference at the edge; designed as humanoid 'brain' compute module; production silicon targeted late 2025

Cosmos World Foundation Models announced at CES 2025 keynote — Jensen unveils synthetic-data generation engine for robotics + autonomous-driving training; positions Cosmos + GR00T + Isaac Sim as full simulation-to-deployment stack

Isaac Lab + Newton physics engine partnership announced with Disney Research + Google DeepMind — open differentiable physics simulator targeting humanoid sim-to-real transfer; Disney provides character-animation pedigree

GR00T N1 open foundation model + Cosmos-Reason world model released at GTC 2025 keynote — first openly-licensed humanoid VLA from NVIDIA; positions NVIDIA as platform-layer above all humanoid OEMs

GTC 2025 humanoid keynote — 14 GR00T partners on stage including Figure, Agility, 1X, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, Sanctuary, Mentee, Galbot, XPeng, Unitree, AgiBot, Fourier; rare full-industry alignment under NVIDIA umbrella

Cosmos foundation models for physical AI generally available on NVIDIA GPU Cloud — Boston Dynamics, Figure, Agility, 1X, Apptronik adopt; NVIDIA solidifies role as horizontal AI infrastructure across the humanoid stack

Jetson Thor production silicon ships — integrated into Figure 03 and Apollo platforms; 800 TFLOPS at 80W; locks in NVIDIA as default humanoid compute brain across Western OEMs
