LAS VEGAS, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CES—NVIDIA today announced new open models, frameworks and AI infrastructure for physical AI, and unveiled robots for every industry from global partners. The new NVIDIA technologies speed workflows across the entire robot development lifecycle to accelerate the next wave of robotics, including building generalist-specialist robots that can quickly learn many tasks. Global industry leaders including Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Franka Robotics, Humanoid, LG Electronics and NEURA Robotics are using the NVIDIA robotics stack to debut new AI-driven robots. “The ChatGPT moment for robotics is here. Breakthroughs in physical AI — models that understand the real world, reason and plan actions — are unlocking entirely new applications,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA’s full stack of Jetson robotics processors, CUDA, Omniverse and open physical AI models empowers our global ecosystem of partners to transform industries with AI-driven robotics.” New Open Models Advance Robot Learning and ReasoningTurning today’s costly, single-task and hard-to-program machines into reasoning generalist-specialist robots requires enormous capital and expertise to build foundation models. NVIDIA is building open models that allow developers to bypass resource-intensive pretraining and focus on creating the next generation of AI robots and autonomous machines. These new models, all available on Hugging Face, include: NVIDIA Cosmos™ Transfer 2.5 and NVIDIA Cosmos Predict 2.5 — open, fully customizable world models that enable physically based synthetic data generation and robot policy evaluation in simu...
