About Project GR00T

The project GR00T stands for Generalist Robot 00 Technology.
It is a multimodal AI system that acts as the mind for humanoid robots, allowing them to learn new skills and interact with the real world.
Robots built on this platform are designed to understand natural language and emulate movements by observing human actions, such as instantly learning coordination, dexterity, and other skills.
This can help the robots navigate and engage with the real world around them.
The project aims to empower humanoid robots with human-like understanding and movement using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The model has been trained on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated simulation, and enables the humanoids to learn from human demonstrations with imitation learning, and from the robotics platform NVIDIA Isaac Lab for reinforcement learning.
While imitation learning involves observing an expert performing a task and learning to imitate those actions, reinforcement learning is a machine learning method that trains software to make decisions to achieve the most optimal results.

Q1) What is an example of multimodal AI?

A multimodal model is a ML (machine learning) model that is capable of processing information from different modalities, including images, videos, and text.
