The graphic power in the world of video games has a limit. Despite Nvidia’s success in offering the possibility of achieving photorealistic graphics, when the moment comes that virtual looks as good as real, the company behind the graphics cards will have reached a peak that cannot be exceeded. Before that happens, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is taking another path, that of artificial intelligence in robots.
Your own R2-D2 in every home
After introducing a new operating system called Project GrOOt designed for robots to perform conventional human tasks, and announcing their collaboration with Salesforce to create a virtual agent that accelerates productivity in sales, marketing, and customer service, Nvidia’s CEO acknowledged that the next big leap is for everyone to have their own R2-D2 or C3PO at home, just like in Star Wars with the assistance droids.
He not only believes it is the next big step in technology, but also thinks that many people who are growing up now will have their own R2 with them for life. “I love the idea of having a computer that becomes smarter and smarter as it works with me over time, understands me, and helps me get things done.”
He recently acknowledged that humanoid robots should be the way to go because our world is adapted for us, and the amount of data we can use to train them and give them skills is greater than in any other variant of this type of artificial intelligence systems. Whether we will soon see a presentation by Nvidia where Huang is accompanied by a robot instead of holding a graphics card in his hand is still to be seen.
