Nvidia, the tech company that is just about singlehandedly propping up the entire United States stock market, announced this week that it has the capacity to start building human-like robots to replace people.
In a public release, Nvidia said it is planning to release a software and hardware platform that utilizes generative artificial intelligence to construct transhuman robots, complete with a suite of software tools like genAI. (Related: If it were not for Nvidia, the U.S. stock market would be in the toilet where it belongs.)
During its annual developer conference, Nvidia bragged about the genAI component of the product, which will allow the company’s AI-driven, human-like robots to take on heavy industry – check out what they look like below:
Today is the beginning of our moonshot to solve embodied AGI in the physical world. I’m so excited to announce Project GR00T, our new initiative to create a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robot learning.

Jim Fan, an Nvidia research manager and lead of embodied AI at the company, explained that through something called “GR00T,” Nvidia’s human-like AI robots will be able to comprehend instructions given to them through language, video and demonstrations in order to perform various tasks.
“The GR00T model will enable a robot to understand multimodal instructions, such as language, video and demonstration, and perform a variety of useful tasks,” Fan said.
“We are collaborating with many leading humanoid companies around the world, so that GR00T may transfer across embodiments and help the ecosystem thrive.”
GR00T is a program that Fan says was “born on Nvidia’s deep technology stack.” There is an entire program around the technology called Project GR00T that Fan says is “a cornerstone for the ‘Foundation Agent’ roadmap of the newly founded GEAR Lab.”
“At GEAR, we are building generally capable agents that learn to act skillfully in many worlds, virtual and real,” Fan explained on X. “Join us on the journey to land on the moon.”
In a statement to the media, Rev Lebaredian, vice president of omniverse and simulation technology at Nvidia, explained that the purpose of these AI robots is to take over human jobs, effectively making humans obsolete.
“These smarter, faster, better robots will be deployed in the world’s heavy industries,” Lebaredian said. “We are working with the world’s entire robot and simulation ecosystem to accelerate development and adoption.”
Nvidia’s genAI software is powered by a computer the company calls “Jetson Thor,” while the package software is called the “Isaac” platform.
Jetson Thor, we are told, will have enough horsepower loaded into it that AI robots will be able to compute and perform complex tasks while still being able to interact with other machines and people.
Isaac, meanwhile, will allow “any robot embodiment in any environment,” meaning the AI robots will supposedly be able to do their programmed and learned tasks while operating around other humans, apparently without injuring or killing them.
In as little as five years, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, these genAI-powered robots will be unleashed on the world. And every investor who is putting their money into Nvidia is funding this operation of planned human obsolescence.
“This is going to be the biggest change in the workforce since the industrial revolution,” one commenter warned about what Nvidia is doing. “The vast majority of both blue- and white-collar jobs could be handled by robots or AI.”
