While U.S. authorities are considering the possibility of banning the import of Chinese-made robots, U.S. company Nvidia is actively working with local developers, supplying them with not only hardware but also software. The children of Nvidia’s founders were actively involved in the process.

This magazine decided to remind you of this wall street journalIt is also reported that the “physical AI” business brings Nvidia approximately US$10 billion in annual revenue. CEO and founder Jensen Huang said that Nvidia’s revenue in this field will grow tenfold in the next ten years. In addition to specialized chips like Thor used by leading Chinese manufacturers of humanoid robots like Unitree, the U.S. company also supplies them with software used to develop models that apply artificial intelligence. The latter provides open extensions, which greatly simplifies developer access to such software.
As the source noted, Huang’s children are actively involved in promoting their father’s company’s products and services in the field of robotics. Daughter Madison (pictured above) is responsible for marketing services in this area, while son Spencer (pictured below) manages product development and has spoken at relevant industry events. Over the past month, Madison Huang not only visited the LG Electronics factory in South Korea, but also visited the World Robot Expo in Beijing, where she was spotted near the booth of a Chinese company developing using Nvidia platforms. Currently, China produces about 90% of humanoid robots, so Nvidia cannot ignore the needs of the local market. Chinese authorities are working to make the local robotics industry self-sufficient, but Chinese robot manufacturers still rely heavily on Nvidia for parts and control software. At least, this is all that is needed during the development and training phase of the robot.
NVIDIA has Chinese-made humanoid robot samples for experiments in its laboratories in China and the United States. NVIDIA released the scientific results of Chinese robotics researchers and invited them to collaborate. At the same time, NVIDIA’s expert team in China is expanding and is committed to research in the field of robots and autonomous driving in the field of transportation. In July, Huang admitted that autonomous driving will be the first application of robotics that will have a significant impact on the market and have huge economic potential.
