Nvidia 的执行长 Jensen Huang 宣布了 H2 Plus 人形机器人的蓝图，该机器人身高 1.83 米（6 英尺），体重 68.04 公斤（150 磅）。该机器人由中国新创公司 Unitree 开发，整合了 Nvidia 的 Thor T5000 晶片、新加坡公司 Sharpa 的灵巧手以及先进的软体。这种结合使包括西方学术实验室在内的研究人员能够使用专有的人工智慧演算法对人形机器人进行编程和训练。Unitree 的基础版 G1 人形机器人售价约为 15,000 美元，与通常耗资数十万美元的竞争对手模型相比，代表了显著的降价。
这次合作利用了中国在硬体供应链方面的优势，以及美国在人工智慧晶片技术方面的领先地位。Nvidia 的机器人产品总监 Spencer Huang 强调，计划向 Unitree 之外的多家人形机器人制造商供应晶片。然而，这项合作关系是在地缘政治紧张局势加剧的情况下出现的，一些美国立法者提议禁止政府使用中国机器人，原因是 2025 年的报告中指称 Unitree 系统存在数据传输的安全疑虑。
虽然像 Ghost Robotics 的联合创始人兼执行长 Gavin Kenneally 这样的批评者警告说，美国面临著将商业机器人市场让给中国公司的风险，但 Nvidia 继续开发专门的硬体和软体。Jensen Huang 强调了人形机器人的巨大商业潜力，预测随著实体人工智慧（physical AI）进入全球最大的行业，将带来数万亿美元的经济机会。美国政府最近放宽了限制，允许 Nvidia 出口更先进的晶片到中国市场。
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang announced a blueprint for the H2 Plus humanoid robot, which stands 1.83 meters (6 feet) tall and weighs 68.04 kilograms (150 pounds). Developed by Chinese startup Unitree, the robot integrates Nvidia’s Thor T5000 chip, a dextrous hand from Singaporean company Sharpa, and advanced software. This combination allows researchers, including Western academic laboratories, to program and train humanoids with proprietary AI algorithms. Unitree's base G1 humanoid robot costs approximately $15,000, representing a significant price reduction compared to competitors' models that often cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The collaboration leverages China’s hardware supply chain advantages alongside the United States' leading position in AI chip technology. Spencer Huang, Nvidia’s director of product for robotics, emphasized plans to supply silicon to multiple humanoid manufacturers beyond Unitree. However, the partnership emerges amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, with some US lawmakers proposing a ban on government use of Chinese robots due to security concerns raised in 2025 reports alleging data transmission by Unitree systems.
While critics like Gavin Kenneally of Ghost Robotics warn of US risks in ceding the commercial robotics market to Chinese firms, Nvidia continues to develop specialized hardware and software. Jensen Huang highlighted the immense commercial potential of humanoid robots, forecasting a multitrillion-dollar opportunity as physical AI enters major global industries. The US government recently eased restrictions, allowing Nvidia to export more advanced chips to the Chinese market.
