NVIDIA and Hugging Face Integrate Isaac GR00T Models Into LeRobot Robotics Platform

NVIDIA and Hugging Face have announced a collaboration to integrate NVIDIA Isaac GR00T 1.7 and Isaac Teleop frameworks into LeRobot, Hugging Face's open-source robotics platform. The partnership aims to simplify access to advanced physical AI tools for developers building next-generation robotic systems.

The collaboration strengthens NVIDIA's position in the robotics ecosystem by connecting its physical AI technologies with Hugging Face's global AI developer community. The integration provides a unified workflow for collecting data, training robot foundation models, evaluating performance, and deploying AI-powered robotic applications.

Thomas Wolf, Co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Hugging Face, stated:

"Open source is how a field turns advanced research into something people can study, adapt and build on. With NVIDIA Isaac GR00T 1.7 and Isaac TeleOp in LeRobot today, robotics developers can use shared models, data, and workflows to train and evaluate robots in the open. And with NVIDIA Cosmos 3 planned next, the community will have a path to bring frontier world models into that same collaborative loop."

The integration includes NVIDIA Isaac GR00T 1.7, an open vision-language-action model designed for humanoid robots, and Isaac Teleop, an open-source framework for collecting human demonstration data. Developers can use these tools to adapt robot models, generate datasets, and improve robotic task performance across different platforms.

NVIDIA highlighted:

"The combination of NVIDIA physical AI capabilities and LeRobot's open ecosystem gives developers a common foundation for advancing robot intelligence through accessible models, simulation environments, and standardized workflows."

The companies also plan to bring NVIDIA Cosmos 3, a frontier physical AI world model, to LeRobot in the future. The technology is expected to support synthetic data generation, simulation-based training, and policy development for robotics applications where real-world data collection remains challenging.

NVIDIA and Hugging Face will continue expanding open robotics resources through integrations with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Jetson Thor, and other development platforms. The partnership aims to accelerate innovation across humanoid robots, industrial automation, and embodied AI systems by making advanced robotics tools more accessible to developers worldwide.
