As mentioned, the Groot N1 is an AI foundation model for humanoid robots, and it has been given training based on real and synthetic data. It is said to feature a dual system architecture, allowing the model to think fast and slow – similar to human cognitive processes. Also, unlike Project Groot which was particularly made for industrial use cases, the Groot N1 is designed for humanoid robots that come in different form factors and appearances.
Speaking more, with the slow thinking system, Groot N1 will let the humanoid robot reason by perceiving its environment and instructions, as per what has been claimed by NVIDIA. With the help of the fast thinking system, the plan or action that has been formed by reasoning will be executed into robotic actions.
At the GTC 2025 event, NVIDEA CEO Jensen Huang himself debuted its Groot N1 model, and it was introduced in one of Disney’s BDX Droids. On a similar note, Jensen Huang also said that ‘the age of generalist robotics is here’. As of now, the Groot N1 AI foundation model is available for open source. Additionally, NVIDIA has also released blueprints and simulation frameworks for synthetic training data generation too.
