AI overview

NVIDIA introduced GR00T 2 as an open robotics model designed to run on a robot’s onboard compute, and Jim Fan later shared a video of it controlling dexterous hands through a chemistry experiment and cleanup. Fan described the footage as autonomous, uncut, and shown at real-time speed. Fan said GR00T 2 handles tasks spanning more than 20 steps and five minutes, and that X-Adapt can use human-wearable and simulation data to adapt it for zero-shot deployment on different real robots. NVIDIA says the model weights, agentic framework, simulation and annotation engines, hardware design, and 100,000 hours of training data are available now; X-Adapt recipes are expected in December.

  1. Jim Fan Shares Real-Time Footage of GR00T 2 Running a Chemistry Lab Experiment

    Jim Fan shares uncut, 1x-speed video of GR00T 2 controlling dexterous hands to perform a chemistry lab experiment and clean up afterward. He describes it as the first episode in a series of real-time robot videos, without the speed-up labels he says are usually shown.

  2. Jim Fan Introduces GR00T 2, an Open Robotics Model for Onboard Compute

    Jim Fan introduces GR00T 2 as an open System One model for robotics that runs on a robot’s onboard compute. He describes tasks spanning 20+ steps and 5+ minutes, X-Adapt for adapting from human wearables and simulation before zero-shot deployment to diverse real robots, and integrations with frontier agents. The post says the model weights, agentic framework, simulation engine, annotation engine, hardware design, and 100K hours of training data are available today; X-Adapt recipes are coming in December.
