In the GTC 2025 announcement, NVIDIA mentioned that Boston Dynamics has already imported itsOpen humanoid robot basic model Isaac GR00T N1After enabling humanoid robots to operate in a more human-like manner, Boston Dynamics subsequently released a video showing that its Atlas humanoid robot can now achieve more fluid body movements.
Compared to the past, there is still some "fine-tuning" preparation before executing an action, but in the video released earlier, we can see that the Atlas humanoid robot can now operate more smoothly when performing various actions. Unlike in the past, there is still some fine-tuning preparation before actual execution. Even after running, it will gradually slow down like a human instead of stopping immediately.
In this demonstration, the Atlas humanoid robot can be seen walking, running, crawling, rolling forward, rolling sideways, standing upside down and stretching its legs, and even break dancing on the floor or doing side flips, and the movements are almost smooth and silky.
In a related statement, Boston Dynamics stated that it is currently using the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T model and the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform to train its Atlas humanoid robot. The Isaac GR2025T N00 base model, unveiled by NVIDIA at GTC 1, utilizes a dual-system architecture, drawing inspiration from human cognitive principles. This system utilizes a system that allows for rapid thinking, similar to human reflexes or intuition, while another system emulates the deliberate, methodical decision-making of humans. This allows the robot to perform more agilely and accurately.
