NVIDIA Isaac GR00T
NVIDIA Isaac GR00T (Generalist Robot 00 Technology) is a research-driven platform for developing general-purpose humanoid robot foundation models and data pipelines. It includes models like Isaac GR00T-N, and synthetic motion blueprints, GR00T-Mimic for augmenting demonstrations, and GR00T-Dreams for generating novel synthetic trajectories, to accelerate humanoid robotics development. Recently, the open source Isaac GR00T N1 foundation model debuted, featuring a dual-system cognitive architecture, a fast-reacting “System 1” action model, and a deliberative, language-enabled “System 2” reasoning model. The updated GR00T N1.5 introduces enhancements such as improved vision-language grounding, better language command following, few-shot adaptability, and new robot embodiment support. Together with tools like Isaac Sim, Lab, and Omniverse, GR00T empowers developers to train, simulate, post-train, and deploy adaptable humanoid agents using both real and synthetic data.

RoboCell
RoboCell integrates ScorBase's robotic control software with interactive 3D solid modeling simulation, accurately replicating the dimensions and functions of Intelitek robotic equipment. This integration allows students to teach positions, write programs, and debug robotic applications offline before executing them in an actual work cell. RoboCell enables experimentation with various simulated work cells, even if the physical setups are unavailable in the lab. Advanced users can design 3D objects and import them into RoboCell for use in virtual work cells. The software operates in three modes: Online mode for controlling the robotic cell, Simulation mode for managing the virtual robotic cell in a 3D display, and offline mode for verifying ScorBase programs. Key features include dynamic 3D simulation with tracking of robots and devices, simulation of robot movements and gripper part manipulation, and support for peripheral axes like conveyor belts, XY tables, rotary tables, etc.

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is a family of AI models developed by Google DeepMind to bring advanced multimodal intelligence into the physical world by enabling robots to perceive, reason, and act in real-world environments. Built on the Gemini 2.0 foundation, it extends traditional AI capabilities by adding physical action as an output modality, allowing robots to interpret visual input and natural language instructions and convert them directly into motor commands to complete tasks. It includes a vision-language-action model that processes images and instructions to execute tasks, as well as a complementary embodied reasoning model (Gemini Robotics-ER) that specializes in spatial understanding, planning, and decision-making within physical environments. These models enable robots to generalize across new situations, objects, and environments, allowing them to perform complex, multi-step tasks even if they were not explicitly trained for them.
