India, March 19 -- TrendForce reports that Nvidia introduced the Isaac GR00T N1 foundation model for general-purpose humanoid robots at GTC 2025.

This open-source model features comprehensive datasets, multi-modal inputs, and adaptable training capabilities, enabling researchers to fine-tune GR00T N1 with real and synthetic data for specific environments and applications. GR00T N1 is expected to drive early market adoption of humanoid robots by accelerating AI model training and reducing time-to-market, with the industry's total market value projected to approach US$4 billion by 2028.

AI and Google have also entered the humanoid robotics sector with Helix and Gemini Robotics, respectively. Like GR00T N1, these models integrate rapid mot...
