ifeng.com technology news on october 2, at the 2024 taipei international computex, nvidia ceo huang jen-hsun wore his iconic black leather jacket and enthusiastically introduced the new favorite of future technology-humanoid robots. he joked that the robots were "about the same age" as he was, stressing: "robotics is here, physical artificial intelligence is here, it's not science fiction."

although the robot displayed by jen-hsun huang is virtual, the robot on the stagewheeled delivery robotbut it gives people a glimpse of future technology. he revealed that two "large-volume" robot products will be released in the future, among which self-driving cars and humanoid robots have attracted much attention. these technologies benefit from the rapid development of machine learning and are gradually integrating and maturing.

however, despite nvidia's huge success in graphics processors, which once had a market value of $3 trillion, robotics currently accounts for only a small portion of its revenue. huang renxun knows that for robotics technology to truly become a reality, many challenges need to be overcome.

to promote the development of robotics, nvidia has launched a series of tools and platforms. omniverse is a simulation platform that developers can use to test robot simulations; isaac is a "gym" built on top of omniverse for training robots to perform tasks. in addition, nvidia also provides jetson thor chips for robots, as well as the groot project known as the "moon landing project", which aims to create a basic model of humanoid robots.

huang renxun believes that humanoid robots are easier to manufacture. he emphasized that because humanoid robots have roughly the same physique as humans, there is more data to train these robots. however, collecting this data still requires time, effort and money.

while nvidia has made progress in robotics, some experts say the company has yet to lower the barriers to entry for robot makers as it has in language and image ai. competitors are jumping in to try to carve out the ideal stack for robotics before nvidia dominates.

however, nvidia also realizes the importance of cooperation with other companies. huang renxun said that nvidia is working with every robotics and artificial intelligence company on the planet to help them deploy robots faster. in addition, the company has launched a humanoid robot developer program that provides developers with a range of tools and resources.

despite the challenges, nvidia is confident about the future of robotics. huang renxun said that self-driving cars and robots will become an important part of nvidia's future development.he predicts that eventually everything will be automated, starting with robotic arms and vehicles, then buildings and even cities.

with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and the active promotion of technology giants such as nvidia, robotics technology is facing unprecedented development opportunities. however, to truly realize the widespread application and commercialization of robots, many technical, legal and ethical issues need to be overcome.
