Agile ONE SN Humanoid Robot Bundles Nvidia’s Robotics Stack

Agile Robots and Nvidia have teamed up to introduce Agile ONE SN, a compact humanoid robot that combines cutting-edge hardware with advanced AI tools. Unveiled at Nvidia GTC in Berlin, the robot is designed to streamline the development and testing of robotic skills for researchers. Instead of piecing together separate components, labs can now start with an integrated platform that includes both the hardware and software needed to teach machines new abilities.

The robot is built on Agile Robots’ smaller Agile ONE S body, paired with Nvidia’s Jetson Thor processor and Isaac GR00T software. This combination aims to reduce integration work from weeks to days, though this estimate has not been independently verified. Agile ONE SN is tailored for research purposes, while Agile Robots’ full-sized Agile ONE is intended for industrial applications.

Key specifications include 128GB of unified memory, up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI computing performance, and integration with Nvidia’s GR00T 1.7 vision-language-action model. The robot's hands are engineered for grasping and manipulating objects, while its cameras and sensors aid in interpreting the environment. Researchers can leverage these features to develop coordinated movements and test the robot's responses to various tasks.

Agile ONE SN runs on Nvidia’s Jetson Thor platform, providing the necessary computing power for sensor data processing and AI-driven movement and control. The robot comes preconfigured with the necessary tools, making it easier for researchers to bring their projects into Nvidia’s ecosystem without the need for extensive digital modeling. The platform is also described as modular, allowing researchers to use the complete development workflow or combine individual components with their existing software.

While Agile Robots hasn’t published independent results demonstrating the reliability of skill transfer to larger industrial humanoid robots, the company emphasizes that researchers will retain control over their data and can choose which parts of the development platform to use. Agile ONE SN is set to launch in early 2027, giving researchers the opportunity to test the robot's performance and capabilities in preparing for practical industrial applications.
