Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Tuesday introduced an AI-powered robot called ‘Blue’ at GTC 2025 AI conference. The robot has been developed in collaboration with Disney Research and Google DeepMind. This Star Wars-inspired robot walked onto the stage and interacted with Huang during the event.
“Hi Blue!” Huang said. He then turned to the audience and asked whether they can imagine that they were just looking at a complete real-time simulation. “This is how we are going to train robots,” the CEO said, while revealing that Blue has two Nvidia computers inside.
He further positioned robotics as a solution to global labour shortages and a massive market opportunity. He stated that the world is going to be at least 50 million workers short by the end of this decade.
“What an amazing year it was, and we have a lot of incredible things to talk about. And I just want you to know that I am up here without a net. There are no scripts, there’s no teleprompter, and I have got a lot of things to cover. So let’s get started,” Huang said as quoted by Business Insider.
Wall Street’s biggest focus on Tuesday was Nvidia’s launch pipeline for its next-generation AI chips. The chip maker is gearing up for the transition from Blackwell to Blackwell Ultra which is set to launch later this year.
In addition, he also unveiled two "personal AI supercomputers" called DGX Spark and DGX Station, both powered by the company’s Grace Blackwell platform and designed for users to work on large AI models with or without a connection to a data centre.
Besides Blackwell, Nvidia is preparing to roll out its AI superchip platform, Rubin—named after astronomer Vera Rubin, whose work provided key evidence for dark matter. Huang first introduced the Rubin platform at Computex last year. During his keynote, the CEO confirmed that Vera Rubin will arrive in the second half of 2026.
