Humanoid robots are designed to adapt to human workspaces, tackling repetitive or demanding tasks. However, creating general-purpose humanoid robots for real-world tasks and unpredictable environments is challenging. Each of these tasks often requires a dedicated AI model. Training these models from scratch for every new task and environment is a laborious process due to the need for vast task…
]]>At CES 2025, NVIDIA announced key updates to NVIDIA Isaac, a platform of accelerated libraries, application frameworks, and AI models that accelerate the development of AI robots. NVIDIA Isaac streamlines the development of robotic systems from simulation to real-world deployment. In this post, we discuss all the new advances in NVIDIA Isaac: NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a reference…

]]>David Niewinski of Dave’s Armoury won the ‘Jetson Project of the Month’ for building a robot arm capable of playing a perfect game of cornhole. The robot runs on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit and can throw a perfect cornhole game. For the uninitiated, Cornhole is a lawn game popular in the United States where players take turns using their aim and motor skills to throw bags of…
]]>Steve Chang won the Jetson Project of the Month for Dragon Eye – an electronic judging system for glider races. The project, which runs on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit, helps count completed laps of a radio controlled slope glider on a course. F3F is a timed speed competition for radio-controlled gliders. The goal of each pilot is to fly the glider ten laps on a 100-meter course in the…

The project, which runs on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit, monitors the path of a person and provides guidance to walk on the correct side and avoid any oncoming pedestrians. In addition to the Jetson Nano, Satinder’s setup includes an Arduino Nano…
]]>James Bruton of XRobots was awarded the ‘Jetson Project of the Month’ for OpenDog V2. This project uses the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit to recognize hand gestures and control a robot dog without a controller. James, a robot inventor, thought it’d be nice if his OpenDog robot responded to hand gestures. To make this happen, he used transfer learning to retrain an existing SSD-Mobilenet…
