NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang presented a major breakthrough on Project GR00T with WIRED’s Lauren Goode at SIGGRAPH 2024.

In a two-minute demonstration video, NVIDIA explained a systematic approach they discovered to scale up robot data, addressing one of the most challenging issues in robotics.

The research team began by using Apple Vision Pro to give the human operator first-person control of the humanoid. By leveraging RoboCasa, a generative simulation framework, the researchers multiplied the demonstration data by varying the visual appearance and layout of the environment. In the final step, they applied MimicGen to further multiply the data by varying the robot's motion.

Through GPU-accelerated simulation technology, NVIDIA successfully transformed scarce and expensive human demonstration data into massive training samples. Seems like we can finally apply the "scaling law" in the field of robotics! Woohoo!
