On October 21, 2026, NVIDIA announced significant expansions to its open robotics development platform, NVIDIA Isaac, at GTC Berlin. The updates include humanoid references, datasets, and runtime enhancements, aiming to accelerate the deployment of general-purpose robotics in real-world environments. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated that the 'ChatGPT moment' in robotics is rapidly approaching, emphasizing the importance of providing developers with a full-stack, open Isaac platform for models, data, simulation tools, and computing systems.
Agile Robots introduced the Agile ONE SN, a full-stack humanoid reference platform preconfigured with NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and powered by the edge AI platform NVIDIA Jetson Thor. This platform consolidates the often-challenging integration of simulation, learning, and deployment tools into a single system, reducing setup time from weeks to days. The Agile ONE SN features a height of 1.4 meters, weight of 40 kilograms, and 31 degrees of freedom, with a payload capacity of 3 kilograms per arm.
The Agile ONE SN is expected to be available in early 2027, attracting interest from research institutions such as Stanford University and ETH Zurich. Agile Robots' founder and CEO Zhaopeng Chen highlighted the humanoid's value in providing a ready-to-use system that allows developers to build, learn, and validate necessary capabilities. Additionally, the SimReady Central Library offers over 2,000 robotics and factory assets compatible with simulation, including contributions from companies like Fanuc and Universal Robots.
