About

NVIDIA's dual-system humanoid foundation model combining System 2 slow-thinking VLM for task planning with System 1 fast diffusion policy for real-time motor control. GR00T N1 runs on Jetson Thor and has become the de facto standard for Western humanoid OEMs.

Key Differentiator
Dual-system architecture (slow planning + fast execution) on purpose-built Jetson Thor hardware
Funding Context

NVIDIA internal project; Jetson Thor hardware revenue estimated at $2B+ by 2027
