- Nvidia CEO says self-driving cars and humanoid robots will dominate.
- Nvidia set to gain from robot adoption with software and hardware.
- Virtual “robot gyms” to train robots before real-world deployment.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang firmly believes robots represent the upcoming wave of AI.
During a recent Taiwan tech conference, he highlighted two prominent robotic categories poised for significant adoption: self-driving vehicles and humanoid robots, labeling them as “very high volume.”
Robotic revolutionaries incoming!
Huang enthusiastically proclaimed, “The next wave of AI is physical AI – AI comprehending physics’ laws, AI capable of functioning alongside us.”
He envisions a future where robotics dominates factories, orchestrating production lines crafting robotic products.
Nvidia stands to benefit immensely from widespread robot adoption, offering software and hardware solutions for robot production, training, and operation.
The company developed an operating system for self-driving cars, anticipating production in partnership with Mercedes next year.
Virtual robot gyms: the training grounds
Additionally, Nvidia created an operating system allowing robots to train in virtual environments before real-world deployment.
Huang explained robots could hone skills like grasping objects and navigating warehouses in a “robot gym” prior to physical implementation, refining their capabilities.
