Roboticist: You Can't Do Robotics Without NVIDIA's Stack; Jensen's Long Bets Are Underrated
tianyin_xu · x · 2026-11-13
A robotics practitioner argues that Jensen Huang's vision has profoundly shaped robotics, with NVIDIA dominating the entire robotics OSS toolchain:
- GROOT/Dream from the Gear team led by Yuke Zhu and Jim Fan
- Isaac Sim as the go-to simulation environment
- CuRobo as a widely used motion planner
These are the results of decades of convicted investment, and you technically can't do robotics without NVIDIA's stack, from software to hardware. The right question, the author says, is whether NVIDIA's next CEO can act as a technical visionary and place years-long bets before an area ripens — adding that people still underestimate Jensen purely from today's success, since few saw his solid long-term bets.
