Nvidia Corp. has announced strategic partnerships with global robotics leaders to accelerate physical AI-technology that bridges digital systems with real-world operations. At its GTC conference in San Jose, the company unveiled new tools including Isaac Lab 3.0, a physics-powered simulation platform, and GR00T N2, a next-generation foundation model for humanoid robots.
The GR00T N2 model, designed for unseen environments, outperforms leading action vision models by over 2x in task success rates and ranks No. 1 on MolmoSpaces and RoboArena. Nvidia’s Omniverse libraries are already being used by FANUC, ABB Robotics, and YASKAWA to validate complex AI applications in manufacturing.
In healthcare, Nvidia introduced specialized tools for surgical robotics, including Open-H (largest healthcare robotics dataset), Cosmos-H (physics-based data generator), and GR00T-H (vision-language action model). These support real-time coordination, synthetic data generation, and digital twin simulations.
PeritasAI is integrating these technologies into a humanoid surgical platform. Developers can now use Rheo-a blueprint within Isaac for Healthcare-to simulate hospital environments safely and test medical automations.
