TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) unveiled two new technologies aimed at advancing "physical AI" at GTC Taipei on Monday (June 1): Cosmos 3, an open multimodal foundation model, and Isaac Gr00t, a development platform for humanoid robots. The announcements underscore NVIDIA's growing focus on robotics and autonomous systems as the next frontier of artificial intelligence.
Nvidia described Cosmos 3 as the world's first fully open "omnimodal" model, capable of understanding and generating text, images, audio, environmental sounds, and actions. The company said the model is designed to help robots, autonomous vehicles, and other AI systems better perceive and interact with the physical world.
"The big bang of physical AI is just around the corner thanks to breakthroughs in multimodal reasoning language, vision, and world models," Huang stated during the keynote. "The Cosmos 3 family of open, frontier omnimodels gives developers a generational leap in ability to build robots, autonomous vehicles, and vision AI that perceive, reason, plan, and act in the physical world."
Huang also introduced Isaac Gr00t, a robotics development platform designed to accelerate the training and deployment of humanoid robots. Nvidia said the platform streamlines the development workflow by providing tools for simulation, training, and testing.
Huang highlighted the significance of physical AI, predicting its imminent integration into daily life. He noted its potential to enhance the capabilities of robots and autonomous vehicles, bringing this technology closer to everyday use. This vision aligns with Nvidia's broader strategy to lead in AI innovation and application.
