GR00T 2

NVIDIA’s open world action model for robot manipulation, built on NVIDIA Cosmos. It predicts future video and robot actions together and runs on parallel grippers, dexterous hands and humanoids. A smaller GR00T 2 Turbo variant runs on the Unitree G1 humanoid’s own Jetson Thor.

Common questions

What is GR00T 2?
NVIDIA’s open world action model for robot manipulation, built on NVIDIA Cosmos. It predicts future video and robot actions together and runs on parallel grippers, dexterous hands and humanoids. A smaller GR00T 2 Turbo variant runs on the Unitree G1 humanoid’s own Jetson Thor.
Who developed GR00T 2?
GR00T 2 is credited to NVIDIA on the DEPLOY registry. Each developer attribution is verified via primary sources.
Is GR00T 2 open source?
Yes. GR00T 2 is recorded as open-source / open-weights on the DEPLOY registry, meaning model weights or source code are publicly available.
What type of AI is GR00T 2?
GR00T 2 is a foundation model on the DEPLOY registry.
What is GR00T 2's maturity stage?
GR00T 2 is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder. Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.
Which robots run on GR00T 2?
No robot models on the DEPLOY registry are recorded as running GR00T 2. DEPLOY wires brain-to-model connections only when the wiring is verifiable from primary sources; absence may reflect pre-deployment or unverified manufacturer claims.
