Robotics Platform

Nvidia partners with Chinese robot maker Unitree to launch a new robotics platform for researchers, signaling its “physical AI” ambitions. The integrated system combines Unitree’s H2 humanoid robot with Nvidia’s Jetson Thor platform and AI models, aiming to democratize access to advanced robotics development. This collaboration supports Nvidia’s vision for a multi-trillion-dollar physical AI industry and expands its software development footprint.

Tencent’s Robotics X Lab and Futian Lab launched Tairos, a modular embodied AI open platform designed to advance robotics in China. Tairos uses large-scale AI models, offering a “plug-and-play” system with development tools and data services. The platform empowers robots to perceive, plan, and autonomously make decisions. Tairos includes multi-modal perception, planning, and perception-action joint models, improved by a cloud simulation environment and Tencent Games’ scene generation tech. Initial partners will help improve real-world applications of embodied AI tech through collaboration.
