Nvidia is set to introduce another breakthrough, and this time in partnership with tech giants
Nvidia has collaborated with Google DeepMind and Disney Research to develop Newton— an open-source physics engine for robotics.
The powerful partnership will allow brands to create a new generation of robotic characters that are more expressive and engaging than ever before.
Powered by two Nvidia computers inside, Newton is built on a Warp framework. It provides real-time simulation with greater precision. And will be optimized for robot learning.
Newton will be the World’s First Open Humanoid Robot Foundation Model.
In his keynote, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mentioned that the company drives to make breakthroughs in robotics. They will develop three AI infrastructures for cloud, enterprise, and infrastructure for robots.
Physics is essential for robotic simulation, providing the foundation for accurate virtual representations of interactions between robots and realistic environments. Robotic simulation streams from fundamental laws of physics— the same principles used to predict how robots will behave in different scenarios.
NVIDIA Warp makes it possible for robots to learn the management of complex tasks with greater precision. This lets roboticists use and distribute the framework, thus contributing more to tech research and development.
According to Huang, the age of generalist robotics is here. He further expanded his statement, adding that with Nvidia Isaac Groot N1 and new data-generation and robot-learning frameworks, robotics developers globally will launch the next frontier.
AI will bring an array of innovations, was expected. However, it feels that AI’s never-ending integrations never seize to surprise.
