What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
The software stack is openly usable today for research, but the hardware reference is pre-availability and academically scoped, and the released model is non-commercial — too early to treat as an adoptable product.
Next
Experiment with the open GR00T-N1.5 model + Isaac Lab / LeRobot 0.4.0 tooling on existing arms now; revisit the hardware reference design after Unitree availability lands in late 2026.
