Humans, like primates, are one of only a few species on Earth that can look at someone doing something and then learn from it — monkey see, monkey do.
But just because that skill is somewhat unique in the animal kingdom doesn’t mean it has to be in the robotic one, especially if Nvidia has anything to do with it.
MEET GR00T
There’s a lot to unpack from Nvidia’s latest GTC 2024 keynote — a whole new generation of AI-enabling chips called Blackwell, for example — but nestled in the unveiling of its next-gen Blackwell chip, there was GR00T, which stands for Generalist Robot 00 Technology.
As the name implies, GR00T is focused on accelerating robotic development. How does it plan to do that? In the creepiest way possible, of course. As per Nvidia:
Robots powered by GR00T… will be designed to understand natural language and emulate movements by observing human actions — quickly learning coordination, dexterity and other skills in order to navigate, adapt and interact with the real world.
