Nvidia has introduced a new reference platform for humanoid robots called H2+, developed in partnership with Unitree Robotics and Sharpa. The system combines Unitree's robot body, Sharpa's Wave robotic hands, Nvidia's Isaac GR00T AI models, and the Jetson AGX Thor T5000 computer based on Blackwell GPU architecture. This collaboration aims to standardize humanoid robotics by integrating advanced hardware with sophisticated physical AI world models like Cosmos 3 for training data generation.
The platform combines Unitree's humanoid body, Sharpa's Wave robotic hands, Nvidia's Isaac GR00T AI models, and the Jetson AGX Thor T5000 computer based on Blackwell GPU architecture.
The H2+ platform features a robot that stands nearly six feet tall, providing a human-scale form factor for testing and deployment in various environments. It incorporates highly dexterous robotic hands designed to handle complex manipulation tasks with precision. The combination of a highly mobile body, dexterous hands with 22 active joints, and powerful onboard computing enables the H2+ humanoid robot to navigate complex environments while performing precise physical tasks.
