NVIDIA unveiled GR00T 2, an upgraded world‑action model, and Isaac Lab 3.0, the release of its robot‑learning framework, at the Conference on Robot Learning in Austin. GR00T 2 was trained on 100,000 hours of egocentric robot and human data and can complete 40 of 50 benchmark tasks without task‑specific demonstrations, achieving 71 % success with a single demonstration and 95 % with five. The model ranks in the top three across vision‑language‑action benchmarks and supports an API for sequencing skills and error recovery. Isaac Lab 3.0 adds environment setup, dual physics solvers (PhysX and Newton) and deformable‑object simulation, enabling parallel training of thousands of robots. Adopters such as Flexion, Siemens, Foxconn and university labs are already testing the tools for dexterous manipulation and industrial automation.
