The [US Army Research Laboratory Robotics](/companies/arl-robotics) (DEVCOM ARL) is the U.S. Army's sole fundamental research laboratory for autonomous systems, conducting foundational research in legged locomotion, human-robot teaming, and AI-driven mobility for defense applications. ARL's robotics programs include the Artificial Intelligence for Maneuver and Mobility (AIMM) initiative and the Human Autonomy Teaming (HAT) program, which develop autonomous off-road navigation, generative AI for battle damage assessment, and human-agent collaboration tools. The laboratory operates the Robotics Research Collaboration Campus (R2C2) at Graces Quarters near Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, for real-world autonomous vehicle testing.

World leader in accelerated computing and AI (NASDAQ: NVDA). In physical AI, NVIDIA develops the Isaac robotics platform: the GR00T open foundation model, Jetson edge compute (AGX Thor), Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim simulation environments, and Omniverse. NVIDIA positions itself as the platform layer for the humanoid industry. Developer of [GR00T N1](/brains/gr00t-n1), the first open humanoid foundation model.
