Nvidia unveils Isaac GR00T reference humanoid at Computex 2026
Nvidia unveiled its Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot at Computex 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, for higher education and university researchers.
TL;DR
- Nvidia announced a reference humanoid robot for academic research at Computex 2026 in Taipei.
- The system combines Nvidia compute systems and Isaac GR00T with a Unitree H2 body and Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company built the platform to reduce the complexity and cost of starting humanoid robotics projects from scratch.
Nvidia said the Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot is intended to give researchers a single open platform for work on general-purpose physical intelligence. Jensen Huang said the company built the system for higher education and university researchers because building a comparable platform independently is difficult and expensive.
The reference robot uses Nvidia compute systems and the Isaac GR00T development platform, along with a Unitree H2 body and Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands. Nvidia said the Unitree H2 body stands almost 6 feet tall and weighs 50 pounds.
At Computex 2026, Huang said humanoid robots could bring physical AI to major industries and described the industrial opportunity as multitrillion-dollar in scale. Nvidia said its compute and open software stack provide research teams with a more unified and secure foundation for advancing humanoid robotics, while Sharpa founder David Li said the partnership is aimed at deploying robots that can perform work in real settings.
