Introducing Cosmos 3: Our latest frontier model for Physical AI

Cosmos 3 is the world’s first fully open omnimodel with native vision reasoning, world and action generation.

Today we’re releasing Super (32B) and Nano (8B) variants.

[NVIDIA Robotics @NVIDIARobotics]

NVIDIA announces the first open humanoid robot reference design built for robotics research.

The NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot combines the @UnitreeRobotics H2 humanoid robot, @SharpaRobotics Wave five-fingered hands for dexterous manipulation, Jetson Thor onboard compute, and Isaac GR00T open software and models, giving researchers a full-stack platform from data capture to model deployment.

Simulating different robot use case with NVIDIA Cosmos — all inspired by a single Starbucks scene 🤖

One image in. Grasping, serving, pouring, even a little "hello" wave out. World models are getting wild.

New episode of The Thinking Machine podcast is live!

I sat down with Diana Wolf Torres to break down everything Physical AI and robotics at GTC 2026.

We get into OpenClaw and the DGX Spark, robot safety, and then go company by company through the robotics that stood out. Including Workr, @NobleMachines, Humanoid, @GeneralistAI, @openmind_agi, Asimov, and more!

Every company we discuss is timestamped so you can jump around.

Thanks to @LightwheelAI for making this episode possible.

[Workr @workr_official]

#CES2026 is a great reminder that fast-moving robots need solid foundations.
Seeing @agilityrobotics, @ServeRobotics, @mack2it & @edmendi together at the @nvidia booth makes it clear why we run an NVIDIA stack at Workr.
Strong foundations keep robots working shift after shift.

[NVIDIA Omniverse @nvidiaomniverse]

Industrial AI took center stage at #CES2026. 👏

Walk the show floor with Vikram Natarajan as he shares how NVIDIA Omniverse is helping power the next wave of industrial AI.

Get started with industrial digital twins: https://t.co/bZSIhPy1bz
