NVIDIA announced an expansion of its Isaac open robotics platform on 21 October, adding a runtime, robot-learning tools and reference workflows for generating and evaluating robot-training data. The release also described an open workflow combining ChatGPT Astra with Isaac and Cosmos on DGX Station.

Agile Robots separately announced Agile ONE SN, a humanoid reference platform preconfigured with NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and powered by Jetson Thor. NVIDIA said the platform unifies simulation, training and deployment tools and can reduce setup from weeks to days; planned integration with NVIDIA Halos safety systems was not yet described as complete. These are product claims and plans from the companies.
