Meet GR00T 2, our new generation of world-action models (WAMs): it imagines how the physical world will unfold and generates the actions that get it there. One model runs on parallel grippers, dexterous hands, and humanoids.

A finer touch for humanoid robots. ๐Ÿค–

At #CoRL2026, NVIDIA is introducing GR00T 2, an open world action model for humanoids, alongside new open industrial benchmarks from @RLWRLD_ai and @UCBerkeley built on Isaac Lab-Arena.

Explore how NVIDIAโ€™s open world action models, ls and agentic workflows help researchers train, test and refine robot skills, from connecting cables to assembling small components.

we are presenting pi0.7 tomorrow at CoRL (Oral)!

talk: Monday ~10:50am
poster: Monday 5pm, poster 63
Our newest model, ฯ€0.7, has some interesting emergent capabilities: it can control a new robot to fold shirts for which we had no shirt folding data, figure out how to use an appliance with language-based coaching, and perform a wide range of dexterous tasks all in one model!

DreamX: one latent action space for humans and robots

It repurposes a pretrained video diffusion model to learn compact latent actions (300x compression) that capture motion alone, enabling any-to-any video transfer and zero-shot human-to-robot action transfer.

Back in ~Dec 2025, I really wanted to work on mobile manipulation, but robots were either too expensive or not performant enough.

So we built our own!

Excited to finally share something Iโ€™ve had so much fun working on:

1. Pixel: a co-designed full stack system for learning Pixel-UMI: environment aware whole body manipulation without robot data.

Nobody trained DreamX to move human motion onto a robot, and it does it anyway. KAIST and NVIDIA turned a pretrained video diffusion model into a latent action learner. Show it a human video and a robotโ€™s first frame, and it generates the robot repeating the motion.

Excited to share one of the most ambitious projects from my CMU lab, led by @_tonytao_ and @JasonJZLiu.

This work shows that SOTA robot capabilities don't necessarily require massive resources. By carefully co-designing the entire robotics stack, one can achieve s at low cost:

(1) Pixel: A humanoid robot under $15K.
(2) Pixel-UMI: A training framework enabling environment-aware, whole-body manipulation for dexterous and mobile tasks.

TL;DR: For under $15K, anyone can build this robot and train it with our framework to reproduce mobile dexterity results at the level of most robotics frontier labs.

We hope it is a meaningful step toward democratizing general-purpose robots capable of operating in complex, real-world environments.
Excited to finally share Pixel: a full-stack robot learning project @_tonytao_ and I worked on earlier this year!

Weโ€™re releasing two papers:
1. Pixel: A low-cost mobile manipulator, co-designed with its UMI system and learning stack. pixel-robot.com/pixel/

2. Pixel-UMI: or learning environment-aware, whole-body manipulation

Robotics needs its own Hubble Space Telescope or CERN, a scientific megaproject to cut through the noise in physical AI.

Another paper, another launch, another โ€œbestโ€ model. Do those gains hold up on real robots, at scale, in the wild?

We built RoboColosseum to find out.
