NVIDIA Open-Sources Flora, a Model Suite for Scaling Robot Data Engines
DrJimFan · x · 2026-10-21
NVIDIA senior research scientist Jim Fan highlights a technical deep dive from colleague Yunze on Flora, an open model suite for scaling robotics data engines.
- Flora watches robot and human video and automatically annotates what happened (timestamped instructions) and how well it went (rewards and failure reasons).
- The suite is used to train NVIDIA's humanoid robot foundation model GR00T.
- A project website, technical deep dive, and open model suite are publicly available.
