AGILE ROBOTS UNVEILS NVIDIA-POWERED HUMANOID, TARGETS UP TO 2,000 ROBOTS IN 2027 Germany's 🇩🇪 Agile Robots unveiled Agile ONE SN at $NVDA's GTC Berlin, a new humanoid robot built for AI research and development. CEO Zhaopeng Chen told Reuters the company plans to produce between 1,000 and 2,000 humanoid robots across its ONE S and ONE SN models in 2027, with production expected to begin by the end of 2026. Here are the key features: • Size: Stands 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) tall and weighs 40 kg (88 lbs), according to NVIDIA, with 31 degrees of freedom and a 3 kg payload per arm. • Hands: Two five-fingered WUJI Hand 2 robotic hands, each with 20 degrees of freedom, tactile sensing, and 1kHz force control for precise manipulation. • AI Computing: Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor, delivering 2,070 FP4 teraflops of compute and 128GB of unified memory for onboard reasoning and real-time control. • Vision and Sensors: Equipped with head and wrist cameras, lidar sensors, and inertial measurement units to perceive and interact with its environment. • AI Software: Comes preconfigured with NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, providing AI models and tools for robot learning, training, and whole-body control. • Safety: Planned integration with NVIDIA Halos to support safer robot operation and deployment. • Development: NVIDIA says the preconfigured platform can reduce setup time for researchers from weeks to days. • Availability: Expected in early 2027, with Stanford University and ETH Zurich among institutions showing interest. “The breakthrough for humanoids is usefulness at scale,” CEO Zhaopeng Chen said.
