GR00T-WholeBodyControl

Source: https://github.com/NVlabs/GR00T-WholeBodyControl Fetched: 2026-02-13 Type: GitHub Repository

Description

GR00T-WholeBodyControl is NVIDIA's open-source software stack for loco-manipulation experiments across multiple humanoid platforms, with primary support for the Unitree G1. The repository provides whole-body control policies, a teleoperation stack, and a data exporter. It is part of the broader NVIDIA Isaac GR00T ecosystem for humanoid robot foundation models.

Key Features / Contents

  • Whole-Body Control Policies: Coordinated control enabling simultaneous locomotion and manipulation across all degrees of freedom
  • Teleoperation Stack: Interfaces with Pico VR controllers for synchronized hand and body command generation; also supports LeapMotion, HTC Vive, and Nintendo Switch controllers
  • Data Exporter: Facilitates collection and logging of trajectory data during teleoperated demonstrations for downstream learning
  • Docker-based Deployment: Containerized environment with all dependencies pre-packaged from the nvgear Docker registry
  • Simulation and Real Robot Support: Can run in simulation or on real hardware with a single flag change
  • Deployment Helper: deploy_g1.py script orchestrates the full stack (control, teleoperation, camera streaming) across coordinated tmux sessions

G1 Relevance

This is one of the most important repositories for G1 whole-body control. Key G1-specific details:

  • Primary platform: The G1 is the primary supported humanoid robot
  • Pre-trained models: Ships with models already trained on in-the-wild Unitree G1 datasets using the UNITREE_G1 embodiment tag
  • Real robot deployment: Requires static IP configuration (192.168.123.222) per Unitree developer guidelines
  • LeRobot integration: The GR00T locomotion controller can be launched through LeRobot using nepyope/GR00T-WholeBodyControl_g1

Installation / Usage

System Requirements

  • Ubuntu 22.04
