Nvidia Partners with Unitree Robotics to Launch Humanoid AI Platform on June 1

According to BlockBeats, on June 1 at Taipei GTC, Nvidia selected Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics as its first humanoid robot AI platform partner for universities and research institutions. The platform integrates Unitree's H2 humanoid robot with Nvidia's Jetson Thor compute platform, Isaac GR00T generative AI model, and simulation software, now available to research organizations including Stanford University and ETH Zurich.

The H2 robot stands approximately 1.8 meters tall and runs AI models directly on-device using Jetson Thor chips and Blackwell GPU. Nvidia announced the upgraded H2 Plus robot will launch in October 2026, with public purchase availability. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated the platform aims to lower barriers to humanoid robot development, positioning "physical AI" as the next frontier following generative AI.
