GR00T 2 is a new generation of foundation world-action models that predicts future video and robot actions for parallel grippers, dexterous hands and humanoids. It runs on parallel grippers, dexterous hands, and humanoids.
Key points
Zero-shot success 40% on 50 unseen tasks; five demonstrations raise performance to 95% after a 30-minute fine-tune on a single RTX 5090.
GR00T 2 Turbo predicts in 124 ms on the Unitree G1’s Jetson Thor and completes whole-body popcorn serving in all 48 trials.

A Sequential Framework for Urban Drone Delivery: results on Seoul hubs
A Sequential Framework for Urban Drone Delivery presents a step-by-step method linking hub location, routing, vehicle sizing, and cost assessment, applied to district-level Seoul data. Adding hubs reduces required range from 30.6 km to 21.9 km and vehicle takeoff mass from 8.12 kg to 6.12 kg.
Key points
Range requirement drops from 30.6 km (one hub) to 21.9 km (four hubs).
Monthly flight energy consumption falls 13.1% from 15.2 MWh to 13.2 MWh despite a 21.5% increase in total flight distance.
