Inside the Humanoid Robot: Mass Production, Supply Chain, and the Hidden Engineering Challenges

The backflip looks impressive, but the real challenge is making a mass-produced robot reliably catch a falling leaf. That requires solving actuator selection, sensor integration, and a supply chain that barely exists yet.

NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1: The Architecture Behind the First Open Humanoid Robot Foundation Model

NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T N1 is the first genuinely open humanoid robot foundation model. Its dual-system architecture — a VLM for high-level reasoning plus a Diffusion Transformer for precise motion control — lets a single model run across multiple robot hardware platforms.
