NVIDIA GR00T 2 and Isaac Lab 3.0 target dexterous robot training
NVIDIA has introduced GR00T 2, Isaac Lab 3.0 and new open robotics benchmarks at CoRL. The GR00T 2 world-action model was trained with 100,000 hours of open human egocentric data and reported 71% average success across 50 tasks from one demonstration, rising to 95% with five, targeting dexterous industrial manipulation.
NVIDIA and Viam show a simulation-first Cosmos 3 robot policy workflow
NVIDIA has announced a practical Cosmos 3 Edge and Viam workflow for designing, training and validating a robot-arm policy without a task-specific real-world dataset. The demonstration moves from simulated task design to synthetic data, policy training and deployment back into simulation, highlighting how agent infrastructure and spatial reasoning can accelerate physical-AI experiments before hardware trials.
Google Cloud opens Gemini Robotics ER 2 preview for enterprise physical AI
Google Cloud has made Gemini Robotics Embodied Reasoning 2 available in public preview on the Gemini platform. The model acts as a high-level brain for robots, combining continuous video understanding, long-horizon planning, tool orchestration and safety controls across stationary arms, mobile platforms, quadrupeds and humanoids.
