NVIDIA at CES 2026: Cosmos Reason 2, Jetson T4000 and Isaac Lab-Arena
2026-01-05 · Publisher : NVIDIA · Domain : Robotics
At CES 2026, NVIDIA releases Cosmos Reason 2, launches the Jetson T4000 module, opens Isaac Lab-Arena for policy evaluation and integrates its GR00T models into Hugging Face's LeRobot library.
What changes
- Cosmos Reason 2: an open reasoning VLM for physical machines.
- Jetson T4000 (Blackwell): 4x greater energy efficiency and AI compute, per NVIDIA.
- Isaac Lab-Arena: large-scale open-source policy evaluation in simulation.
- GR00T and Isaac Lab-Arena integrated into LeRobot.
- "The ChatGPT moment for robotics is here," says Jensen Huang.
### What changes On January 5, 2026, at CES in Las Vegas, NVIDIA presented a series of physical AI releases, while Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Franka Robotics, Humanoid, LG Electronics and NEURA Robotics unveiled robots built on its stack. Jensen Huang summed it up: "The ChatGPT moment for robotics is here." ### Specifications - **Cosmos Reason 2**: an open reasoning vision-language model enabling machines to see, understand and act in the physical world. - **Featured open models**: Cosmos Transfer 2.5, Cosmos Predict 2.5 and Isaac GR00T N1.6, all on Hugging Face. - **Jetson T4000**: a Blackwell-based module, now available, with 4x greater energy efficiency and AI compute per NVIDIA. - **Isaac Lab-Arena**: an open-source framework for evaluating and benchmarking robot policies in simulation, connected to Libero and Robocasa, designed with Lightwheel. - **OSMO**: an orchestration framework to run data generation, training and testing across heterogeneous compute. - **Hugging Face**: GR00T models and Isaac Lab-Arena integrated into LeRobot. ### Why it matters NVIDIA tackles evaluation, the weak link of learned robotics: Isaac Lab-Arena standardizes testing before real deployment. The Hugging Face alliance broadens access to its stack beyond industrial customers. ### Key takeaway CES 2026 confirms robotics has become a major NVIDIA focus, with a quarterly announcement cadence.
