At the keynote address during CES 2026, NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, made a groundbreaking announcement: the robotics field has now entered what he calls its “ChatGPT Moment.” He also unveiled a suite of open-source “Physical AI” models. During the event, Huang gave a live demonstration of the BDX robot’s learning process. He introduced Nvidia Cosmos Transfer 2.5 and Cosmos Predict 2.5, both of which are designed to comprehend the physical characteristics and spatial relationships within the real world. These models create a secure virtual environment for assessing robot performance. NVIDIA further launched the Cosmos Reason 2 visual language model, which grants robots the ability to engage in visual reasoning and make informed decisions. For the humanoid robot sector, NVIDIA rolled out Nvidia Isaac GR00T N1.6, facilitating precise full-body control. In terms of development tools, NVIDIA teamed up with Hugging Face to streamline the workflow. Moreover, NVIDIA presented the new Jetson T4000 module, which runs on the Blackwell architecture and offers four times the performance of its predecessor.
