🤖 NVIDIA Unveils Newton Physics Engine
NVIDIA, in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Disney Research, has introduced Newton — a new differentiable physics engine with GPU acceleration based on NVIDIA Warp and OpenUSD. This accelerates the transition of Physical AI toward full training cycles.
🌍 Simulation addresses the data scarcity problem for robot training by allowing physics to be integrated directly into gradient descent.
👤 The use of Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor makes the training process for physical agents cheaper and faster.
