Agile Robots announced Agile ONE SN on October 21, a research humanoid that will come with NVIDIA’s GR00T software preconfigured. The company plans to make it available at the beginning of 2027. It has not published a price.

The platform pairs Agile’s compact ONE S body with Wuji tactile hands and NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard compute. Agile lists a height of 1.4 meters, a weight of 43 kg and a payload of up to 3 kg per arm. The body has 31 degrees of freedom; the two hands add 20 each, bringing the total to 71.

What comes preconfigured

The software package includes the GR00T 1.7 model, whole-body control and a workflow for recording demonstrations, simulation, training and testing. Agile also provides URDF and USD robot models for Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab.

“Agile ONE SN gives R&D labs around the world a complete humanoid platform that is ready from day one.”

Zhaopeng Chen, Agile Robots CEO and founder, describing the planned product in the launch announcement

NVIDIA’s GR00T repository licenses its code under Apache 2.0. The GR00T N1.7 model card lists the weights under the NVIDIA Open Model License.

Transferring skills to Agile ONE

Agile says researchers retain control of their data and can use the full workflow or selected components. It also says skills and data developed on ONE SN can transfer to Agile ONE, its larger industrial humanoid. The launch release does not include results demonstrating that transfer.

The company names Stanford University and ETH Zurich as institutions that have shown interest. It does not announce orders from either institution.
