Nio ET9 vs BMW vs AUDI “It turns out that the geographies that do the manufacturing get awfully good at the designing of things. There are network effects as you all well understand… The firms that design products work with firms that manufacture. They share intellectual property, they share best practices and they even sometimes share employees. Now, we assume that other nations will always trail us in the value chain, but it turns out that as they got better at the lower end of the value chain, they also caught up on the higher end — we were squeezed from both ends.” — JD Vance #china #technology #evs #manufacturing

NVIDIA’s GR00T N1 is the world’s first open foundation model for humanoid robots, revolutionizing Physical AI and democratizing robotics. With “only” 2B parameters, GR00T N1 learns from a diverse dataset that spans real humanoid teleoperation data, over 300K simulation trajectories, advanced neural video generation, and latent actions from everyday videos. This end-to-end neural network combines a Vision-Language Model that deciphers visual cues and language instructions with a Diffusion Transformer that generates smooth, precise motor actions at 120 Hz. Currently deployed on GR1, 1X Neo, and even the affordable $110 Hugging Face LeRobot SO100, GR00T N1 boosts performance in household and industrial manipulation tasks by up to 30%. By lowering entry barriers, accelerating innovation, and fostering collaboration across academia, industry, and hobbyists, GR00T N1 is paving the way for transformative advancements in humanoid automation. #nvidia #groot #gr00t

At GTC 2025, NVIDIA unveiled Isaac for Healthcare, an AI-powered platform aimed at improving medical robotics. The system addresses key challenges in healthcare automation by combining advanced AI with realistic simulation environments and real-time on-robot processing. Built on a three-computer framework, MONAI generates synthetic anatomical data, Omniverse creates virtual training spaces, and Holoscan manages real-time sensor data. This integrated approach enables developers to create digital twins for surgical procedures and train robots to perform medical tasks, support medical professionals, and improve patient care by bridging the gap between simulation and practical application. #gtc2025 #nvidia

The wise man thinks about his troubles only when there is some purpose in doing so; at other times he thinks about other things, or, if it is night, about nothing at all…
