NVIDIA Just Unveiled a New AI Robot “Blue” – Built with Disney and DeepMind

Big news from GTC 2025— NVIDIA revealed an advanced AI robot named “Blue”, developed in collaboration with Disney Research and Google DeepMind. It’s designed for interactive, lifelike experiences and will be used in Disney theme parks to bring characters to life in new ways.

🔹 Highlights:

• Blue debuted with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, showing off beeps, gestures, and real-time reactions—very expressive for a robot.
• It’s powered by Newton, a new physics engine (built on NVIDIA’s Warp framework), allowing Blue to perform complex tasks with more realistic movement and responsiveness.

🎡 Why does this matter?

Disney plans to roll out Blue and similar robots in parks like Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. It’s a big step toward next-gen robotics in entertainment, making character interactions more immersive than ever.

🤖 Also announced: Isaac GR00T N1

NVIDIA also introduced Isaac GR00T N1, an open-source, foundation AI model for humanoid robots. It features a dual-system cognitive architecture—fast reflexive actions (System 1) and deliberate reasoning (System 2), paving the way for versatile AI in real-world applications.

This model could accelerate humanoid robot development for various industries.
