Nucleus Robotics is a German humanoid robotics deployment company founded by Melvin Schwarz, exiting stealth in August 2026 with a claimed 90-day humanoid factory deployment. Rather than building its own hardware, Nucleus operates a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model using third-party humanoid platforms (including the [Unitree G1](/models/unitree-g1)) with a proprietary intelligence layer spanning perception, task planning, real-time adaptation, and fleet coordination. The company deploys humanoids into existing industrial sites using a three-stage process: 3D scanning, simulation, and supervised teleoperation, aiming to build the largest deployed artificial industrial workforce. Team veterans previously worked at [1X](/companies/1x), [NEURA Robotics](/companies/neura-robotics), [Agile Robots](/companies/agile-robots), CERN, and ESA.

World leader in accelerated computing and AI (NASDAQ: NVDA). In physical AI, NVIDIA develops the Isaac robotics platform: the GR00T open foundation model, Jetson edge compute (AGX Thor), Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim simulation environments, and Omniverse. NVIDIA positions itself as the platform layer for the humanoid industry. Developer of [GR00T N1](/brains/gr00t-n1), the first open humanoid foundation model.
