Extend Robotics at GTC 2026: Unlocking human potential through teleoperated robotics

This week, NVIDIA GTC 2026 brought together some of the most exciting minds in AI and robotics for the Virtual Robotics Startup Showcase, and Extend Robotics was proud to be part of it.



What if high-precision industrial work could be carried out from the comfort and safety of a home office?


That’s the question driving Extend Robotics forward, and one that our founder and CEO Chang Liu explored in the session. His talk showcased how Extend Robotics is combining XR teleoperation with powerful simulation tools like NVIDIA Isaac Lab to redefine how humans interact with machines.


Embodied AI is unlocking the future of real-world automation, but challenges around dexterity, data capture, and deployment remain. Extend Robotics’ AMAS platform addresses these with a fully remote XR teleoperation interface, enabling precise, human-like control, while streamlining AI training through high-quality data capture and supporting deployment across a wide range of robotic systems.


By bridging the gap between human intuition and robotic precision, Extend Robotics is enabling operators to perform complex, delicate tasks remotely, unlocking new levels of safety, efficiency, and scalability across industries.


Extend Robotics enables industries to rapidly deploy robots and perform advanced robot training systems on a wide-range of hardware platforms, leveraging NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, NVIDIA Isaac Lab and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Blueprint.


We are especially honoured to have been selected by NVIDIA as one of the top 5 embodied AI companies in Europe, recognising our role in shaping the future of human-robot interaction:  https://www.extendrobotics.com/post/extend-robotics-bridges-simulation-and-reality-with-intuitive-xr-interface-accelerating-real-world


By integrating with NVIDIA technologies such as NVIDIA Isaac Lab, the AMAS platform powers a continuous data flywheel, accelerating the development of smarter, more capable robots. The data flywheel journey transforms human demonstrations into continuous learning for robots, capturing high-quality teleoperation data through its XR platform and feeding it directly into AI training pipelines. This creates a self-improving loop where every interaction enhances model performance, accelerating the path from manual control to intelligent automation.


 

A showcase of robotics innovation


The session also featured a diverse group of pioneering startups, each tackling global challenges through cutting-edge robotics and AI:


  • AI-powered agriculture:

    Josef from AI.Land discussed how autonomous machines are transforming agriculture, moving AI out of the lab and into the field to create more sustainable, data-driven farming practices.


  • Service robotics in everyday environments:

    Sandy from BellBoy Robotics explored how service robots are becoming part of daily life, navigating complex human environments like hotels and offices.


  • Learning human dexterity through AI:

    Elvis Nava of Mimic Robotics presented how robots can learn complex manual tasks simply by observing humans, unlocking the future of general-purpose automation.


  • Humanoid robotics and generative bionics:

    Daniele from GBionics shared insights into building humanoid systems designed for seamless collaboration with humans through advanced simulation and biomechanics.


Together, these innovators highlighted a powerful shift: robotics is no longer confined to controlled environments or specialised facilities. Instead, it is moving into the real world, into farms, hotels, factories, and even our homes.


Extend Robotics sits at the heart of this transformation, enabling a future where human capability is no longer limited by physical presence.
