🚖NVIDIA’s Going “All In” on Self-Driving Cars

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced three hardware tools and software applications to accelerate the developments of self-driving cars at NVIDIA GTC 2025.

Key Details:

1. “NVIDIA Drive AGX” is a Compute Engine that processes real-time data from Cameras, LiDAR, and RADAR to help self-driving cars auto-lane change and navigate traffic.

2. “NVIDIA DriveOS” is an Automotive Operating Software designed to run self-driving car applications that involve AI Inference and Computer Vision (CV), which enables computers to interpret, analyze, and extract visual data.

3. “NVIDIA Halos” is a Safety Framework that contains safety-certified software libraries for Autonomous Vehicles (AV). It’s comprised of more than 1,000 AV-safety patents and over 240 AV-safety research papers.

Why It’s Important:

• “The time for AVs has arrived,” said Huang. “It has the potential to reduce the impact of driver behavior on road safety.”

• These three hardware tools and software applications are trained on “NVIDIA Omniverse,” a platform that simulates virtual worlds to design, develop, and deploy Physical AI. It excels at generating realistic traffic scenarios involving trucks, cyclists, and pedestrians.

🩺 PULSE CHECK

UNITREE ROBOTICS

🦾World’s First Side-Flipping Humanoid Robot

Unitree Robotics showcased a video of “Unitree G1,” the world’s first side-flipping humanoid robot.

Key Details:

• “Unitree G1” is equipped with three sensors:

  1. Gyroscopes: measure rotational orientation to indicate changes in tilt and velocity.

  2. Accelerometers: measure linear acceleration to indicate changes in speed and direction.

  3. Force Feet Plates: measure ground contact to detect pressure shifts and maintain balance.

• It also boasts 34 Joint Position Encoders (JPEs). The Joint refers to mechanical parts that resemble a knee, elbow, or shoulder. The Position refers to the angular orientation of the Joint. Encoders convert mechanical motion into electrical signals.

• “Unitree G1” also leverages Unitree Robot Unified Large Model (UnifoLM), which helps it make decisions based on the three sensors and JPEs.

Why It’s Important:

• Humanoid robots trained in simulated environments struggle to perform in real-world scenarios because of differences in physics, friction, and velocity.

• Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) developed “Aligning Simulation and Real Physics (ASAP)” to address this reality gap. “ASAP” enabled “Unitree G1” to recreate celebrations of iconic athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Siuuuu!”
