"The humanoid robot revolution is coming" - Nvidia CEO warns of their use in the manufacturing industry
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes humanoid robots could be widely used in manufacturing in less than five years. Huang revealed new details about the company's newest artificial intelligence chip and other advancements at the annual software developers conference.
The company introduced Isaac Gr00t N1, the world's first open-source humanoid robot model, and simulation frameworks to accelerate robot development. The prototype 'Newton', an open-source physics engine for robotics, was also brought to the stage.
The companies plan to work together to build artificial intelligence systems using Nvidia's platforms to train production models.
Huang also announced new chips, including its upcoming Blackwell Ultra GPU chip, which will be available in the second half of this year and will have more memory than the current generation of the Blackwell main chip, meaning it can support larger designs.
According to him, Nvidia's chips have two main purposes: to help artificial intelligence systems respond intelligently to a large number of users and to provide them with answers as quickly as possible. Huang argued that Nvidia's chips are the only ones that can do both.
Huang also revealed details of a system-on-a-chip called Vera Rubin, which will succeed Blackwell and will have higher speeds. It will be released in the second half of 2026. He added that the Rubin chips will be followed by the Feynman chips, which will come in 2028.
Among other things, the Nvidia chief unveiled software tools that would help humanoid robots spread more easily around the world. When asked what signs would indicate that artificial intelligence had become ubiquitous, Huang said it could be "when humanoid robots are walking around, which is not even five years away."
The manufacturing industry is likely to “adopt” humanoid robots first because there are well-defined tasks that robots can handle in a controlled environment.
"I think they should go to factories first. And the reason for that is because the environment is much more protected and the use case is more specific," Huang said. "Its value is very easy to determine. The use case for renting a humanoid robot is probably $100,000, and I think that's an acceptable value," he added.
