At CoRL2026, NVIDIA introduced GR00T 2, an open world action model for humanoid robots, alongside new open industrial benchmarks from RLWRLD and UC Berkeley built on Isaac Lab-Arena, covering fine skills like cable connection and small-part assembly.
AI2 confirmed NVIDIA used its open MolmoSpaces benchmark to evaluate GR00T 2, alongside RoboCasa365, RoboLab and RoboDojo—any team can test robot policies on the same simulated homes, objects and tasks.
