> At its GTC conference in Berlin, Nvidia unveiled a reference humanoid platform for laboratories with Agile Robots, Chinese site IT之家 reports.

Published on 2026-10-21

According to IT之家, the platform ships with Nvidia's Isaac GR00T software already configured and carries the Jetson Thor computer. It is aimed mainly at robotics research and development, with a release planned for early 2027.

The robot reuses the Agile ONE S humanoid base: 1.4 metres tall, 40 kg, 31 degrees of freedom and a payload of 3 kg per arm.

It is fitted with two WUJI Hand 2 five-fingered hands, each with 20 degrees of freedom, 1 kHz force control and tactile sensing. Reuters, however, reports a weight of about 34 kg, against 40 kg according to Nvidia. The cause of the gap is unknown.

According to Reuters, Agile Robots plans to produce up to 2,000 humanoids with Nvidia in 2027, intended notably for universities and corporate research laboratories.

Nvidia says several research institutions, including Stanford University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, have already expressed interest in the Agile ONE SN.
