By

Nvidia partnered with China's humanoid robotics startup Unitree and Singapore's Sharpa to release its first robotics system, according to the U.S. chipmaker's press release on Sunday.

Nvidia launched its Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot, which will be used by educational institutions such as Stanford, UC San Diego and ETH Zurich for their humanoid robotics research.

The technology is a combination of Unitree's H2 Plus humanoid chassis and the Dual Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands integrated with Nvidia's Jetson AGX Thor T5000 onboard compute.

In a keynote speech in Taipei, Nvidia's chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, forecasted that the "physical AI" may become a market valued tens of trillions of dollars, according to a report from CNBC.

Nvidia plans to use the reference design to advance GROOT open models, frameworks and hardware.
