NVIDIA expanded its Isaac robotics platform at GTC Berlin with a new humanoid reference system, training data, runtime software and robot-learning workflows. The centerpiece is Agile ONE SN, a joint reference platform from Agile Robots built around NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and Jetson Thor.
A pre-integrated humanoid research platform
Agile ONE SN uses a 1.4-meter humanoid body with 31 degrees of freedom, two five-finger hands, cameras, lidar and inertial sensors. NVIDIA says the system is intended to reduce the integration work needed to move from simulation and training to physical deployment.
The reference platform is scheduled to be available in early 2027. Planned availability and interest from research institutions should not be read as shipped volume, production deployment or independently measured performance.
Isaac grows beyond a single model
NVIDIA also made Isaac Lab 3.0 generally available, introduced the open-source Isaac OS runtime, and announced a SimReady library with more than 2,000 assets plus the Human 1M Dataset. Three open reference workflows connect GR00T, Isaac Lab and Cosmos work with DGX Station.
Together, the pieces show NVIDIA extending its robotics strategy from accelerators and foundation models into a more complete development environment. The practical value will depend on integration quality, safety validation and whether researchers can reproduce the claimed time savings.
