Introducing SimReadyGen. Agentic simulation generation for Physical AI. From a text prompt to physically accurate SimReady assets at scale. Robot training demands physically accurate environments at a scale traditional asset creation can't match. SimReadyGen closes that gap. Every generated asset carries measured physics, not estimates. Behind it is SimReady...

Big news! World Labs' Marble is officially compatible with NVIDIA Robotics' Isaac Sim. Instead of showcasing their highlight reel, our team at Lightwheel created a full environment from a 360 pano using Marble and showed you can train directly in sim. The only non-generated assets are the robot arms, coffee, and bowl. Everything else was generated with Marble. Not sure how to do this yourself? NVIDIA wrote a technical blog with full instructions. You will learn how to: 1. Export scenes from World Labs' Marble as Gaussian splats 2. Convert to USD using NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec 3. Import into NVIDIA Isaac Sim 4. Add a robot and run the simulation Read the guide ➡️ #WorldModels #Robotics

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications. Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future. Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism. We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.

🚨 BREAKING: ABB Robotics + NVIDIA close the sim-to-real gap with 99% accuracy! 👾 ABB Robotics is integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio to deliver physical AI for industry, closing the gap from virtual training to real-world deployment with up to 99% accuracy. RobotStudio HyperReality, available second half of 2026, will fundamentally change how quickly manufacturers can scale production: reducing costs by up to 40%, accelerating time-to-market by 50%, and cutting setup and commissioning times by up to 80%. For decades, the deficit between simulation accuracy and real-world lighting, materials, and environments has limited manufacturers' ability to design advanced manufacturing processes in the virtual world. The only robot manufacturer with a virtual controller running the same firmware as the hardware, ensuring near-perfect correlation between simulation and real-world performance. The system uses physically accurate simulations and foundation models endlessly optimized with real-world data feedback. These models can train any number of ABB robots anywhere in the world with industrial-grade reliability. Foxconn is using RobotStudio HyperReality for consumer electronics assembly. Assembly robots are trained virtually using synthetic data to perfect multiple production processes across various scenarios, then moved to production lines with 99% accuracy. This eliminates physical training and tests, reducing setup times and costs. Workr is demonstrating AI-powered robotic systems at NVIDIA GTC 2026. Built on ABB technology, trained with synthetic data using NVIDIA Omniverse, deployed without operators needing programming knowledge . 🚨 I’ll be onsite in San Jose during GTC 2026, and will be showing all the cool stuff that ABB Robotics prepared this year!

We are back again :) After three weeks of quiet building. Introducing Genesis World 1.0, our latest simulation platform, the second release in our full-stack suite. Open-sourced. Robotics is still bottlenecked by the 1× speed of the physical world. Every model, checkpoint, and data recipe eventually needs to be tested on physical hardware, slowly, expensively, and with limited coverage. One hour in reality can become 100 days in simulation. That is how robotics model iteration moves from a wall-clock bottleneck to a compute problem. To make this work, simulation has to be both fast and trustworthy. Over the past year, we rebuilt the entire stack: a GPU-accelerated cross-platform compiler, penetration-free multi-physics contact solvers, unified rigid and deformable physics, and a photo-realistic renderer purpose-built for physical AI applications. We built Nyx, a high-performance path-traced rendering engine for robotics application. Genesis World 1.0 achieves near realtime performance with our latest development for penetration-free IPC solver, supporting various types of deformables beyond rigid bodies. It supports contact-rich, dexterous manipulation simulation across different embodiments: unitree, sharpa, wuji, genesis hand and various types of grippers. Under the hood is Quadrants, our effort in pushing forward cross-platform GPU-accelerated computation. Quadrants started as a fork of Taichi, and we rebuilt most of the critical parts for optimizing simulation workloads, giving 10x faster launch time and up to 4.6x runtime performance compared to the initial Genesis release. Together, they bring us to an unprecedentedly low sim-to-real gap, enabling zero-shot real-to-sim model evaluation and much faster iteration of GENE. All available today.

Trained a humanoid entirely in a 3D scan of the office. Zero real-world fine-tuning. It just walked in and worked. RL needs hundreds of thousands of attempts, and real robots can't afford to crash. A misjudged gap or a glass door collision breaks hardware and costs hours resetting. So you train in a sim. But sim policies usually train on randomized, untextured geometry; depth is easy to fake. The robot learns structure, not the real world: no materials, no lighting, no idea what anything actually is. RGB cameras carry all of that but training RGB policies in generic fake worlds won’t generalize to the real world. Niantic Spatial 🌎 Scaniverse reconstructs your scan of the real deployment site. One 360° camera walkthrough → photorealistic 3D Gaussian splat at metric scale → collision mesh pulled from the same reconstruction, so vision and physics match exactly. Drops straight into NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab, no manual conversion. Flexion simulation-first approach then seamlessly enables the training of RGB-only nav policies inside that reconstruction. With added domain randomization + large image encoders for robustness, this deploys straight to hardware. No real-world fine-tuning. Deployment: months of on-site adaptation → days. Tune into the NVIDIA livestream on 12 August to hear how these companies are closing the sim2real gap: NVIDIA Robotics ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

We RL'ed humanoid robots to Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and Kobe Byrant! These are neural nets running on real hardware at our GEAR lab. Most robot demos you see online speed videos up. We actually *slow them down* so you can enjoy the fluid motions. I'm excited to announce "ASAP", a "real2sim2real" model that masters extremely smooth and dynamic motions for humanoid whole body control. We pretrain the robot in simulation first, but there is a notorious "sim2real" gap: it's very difficult for hand-engineered physics equations to match real world dynamics. Our fix is simple: just deploy a pretrained policy on real hardware, collect data, and replay the motion in sim. The replay will obviously have many errors, but that gives a rich signal to compensate for the physics discrepancy. Use another neural net to learn the delta. Basically, we "patch up" a traditional physics engine, so that the robot can experience almost the real world at scale in GPUs. The future is hybrid simulation: combine the power of classical sim engines refined over decades and the uncanny ability of modern NNs to capture a messy world.

That's sick! 🤯 Genesis AI simulates robots playing yo-yo! 🪀 Genesis AI just open-sourced Genesis World 1.0, and it might be one of the most important infrastructure releases in robotics this year. Robotics is still bottlenecked by the 1× speed of the physical world. Every model needs to be tested on real hardware, slowly, expensively, with limited coverage. Genesis World 1.0 from Genesis AI flips that equation: One hour in reality becomes 100 days in simulation. That turns a wall-clock bottleneck into a compute problem. And compute problems are solvable. The technical stack they rebuilt from scratch is serious: → GPU-accelerated cross-platform compiler via Quadrants, 10x faster launch time and up to 4.6x runtime vs the initial Genesis release → Penetration-free multi-physics contact solvers, the thing that makes simulation actually trustworthy → Unified rigid AND deformable physics in a single engine → Nyx, a high-performance path-traced rendering engine purpose-built for physical AI The sim-to-real gap has historically been the graveyard of robotics research. Policies that work beautifully in simulation fall apart on real hardware. Genesis World 1.0 is a direct attack on that problem. And it's fully open-source.

People who've never set foot in a factory will never understand... I watched this three times. For decades, robotics simulation has promised faster deployment. But factories still had to build the real cell to see if it actually worked. Which meant expensive physical prototypes, weeks or months!!! of commissioning, constant surprises between simulation and reality That “sim-to-real gap” has quietly been one of the biggest bottlenecks in manufacturing automation. And it’s exactly what is changing. Today, ABB Robotics announced a partnership with NVIDIA Robotics aimed at closing this gap through the new RobotStudio HyperReality platform: Simulation and real robot behavior can match with near-perfect accuracy. That means manufacturers can design, test, and validate entire production lines before a single robot is installed on the factory floor. The implications are massive: • up to 80% faster setup and commissioning • roughly 40% lower costs by removing physical prototypes • about 50% faster time-to-market for new production lines In other words: Factories can move from trial-and-error engineering to software-driven manufacturing design. Production lines become something you build and validate digitally first. Then deploy physically once everything already works. For an industry that still measures deployment timelines in months or years, this is a major shift. It changes how automation projects are planned, how factories are designed, and how fast manufacturing can adapt to new products. Physical AI actually becomes deployable at an industrial scale. I’ll be at GTC in San Jose next week to see and talk to manufacturers and robotics engineers. If you are into manufacturing like I am, hit me up; my DMs are open!

Historically, RL policies for robots have been trained in synthetic, untextured environments, limiting perceptive policies to depth images where the sim-to-real gap is manageable. RGB has always had more potential, but leveraging it to train policies in simulation remained an open problem. Partnering with Niantic Spatial 🌎 and NVIDIA Robotics, we built a pipeline that addresses exactly that. We can now scan a real deployment site with off-the-shelf hardware, reconstruct it into a photorealistic Gaussian splat, and run massively parallel RL training. The policies trained in our Gym environment then transfer zero-shot to the real robot and environments they were trained for. This enables faster deployment of more capable and robust policies for the end user. The new resulting capabilities are a big step towards solving sim-to-real and also apply well beyond navigation.

NVIDIA just gave every robotics beginner a cheat code. You don’t need expensive hardware. You don’t need to burn motors. You don’t need to break prototypes. You can skip all of that. Because you can build the entire robot… virtually. With Isaac Sim, you design everything in simulation: Chassis. Wheels. Joints. All running on real physics. You add sensors—RGB cameras, 2D LiDAR—so your robot can actually see. You wire up control systems using ROS 2 and OmniGraph. You stream live sensor data straight into RViz. And suddenly… You’re not guessing anymore. You’re thinking like a robot. That’s the real shift. Simulation isn’t just practice. It’s leverage. You iterate faster. You break nothing. You ship something that actually works—before touching the real world. If you’re trying to get into robotics or physical AI… This isn’t optional. This is the new starting line.

You ship something that actually works—before touching the real world. If you’re trying to get into robotics or physical AI… This isn’t optional. This is the new starting line.

Robotics has a massive, silent bottleneck. It isn’t just data collection—it’s the brutal 1x speed of the physical world. Genesis AI Genesis AI just unveiled Genesis World 1.0, and they are attempting to turn the notorious Sim2Real gap into a pure compute problem. Evaluating a robotics foundation model across edge cases usually means hundreds of hours of physical lab testing. With Genesis World 1.0, what traditionally takes nearly a week of continuous, real-world operation is being compressed into 30 minutes in simulation. What makes this different from just dropping a robot model into an off-the-shelf game engine? 1️⃣ Nyx Renderer: A custom, real-time path-traced engine rendering noise-free 1080p frames in under 4ms. Game engines use rasterization tricks that confuse AI; Nyx uses physically accurate multi-bounce lighting so the model's "eyes" see exactly what real sensors see. 2️⃣ Quadrants Compiler: A custom Python-to-GPU compiler to run heavily parallelized multi-physics simulations (rigid bodies, fluids, deformables) natively across architectures. 3️⃣ Evaluation First: They aren't rushing to train on synthetic data. They are using this purely for closed-loop evaluation to perfect the physics first, currently claiming an impressive 89% correlation with real-world hardware tests. If the industry can accurately evaluate models in simulation without the physical world bottleneck, humanoid development stops moving at wall-clock time and starts scaling with compute.

Simulation-first approach to robotic production lines! 👾 At Hannover Messe, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SoftServe are demonstrating a fully autonomous, AI-powered manufacturing workflow. Design a product using generative AI, then watch it move through the entire process: engraving, inspection, and delivery, handled by a mix of robots working together powered by physical AI on AWS. The interesting part is how the system is built. Getting robots into production is usually where things fall apart. SoftServe takes a simulation-first approach using AWS. They build and test the entire system virtually: robot behavior, production flow, before deploying anything physically. This enables faster iteration, safe edge case testing, and significantly reduced sim-to-real gap. Their demo includes AMRs handling transport, cobots doing precise manipulation, AI-driven quality inspection, and humanoid interaction at the end. All connected through a unified, software-defined layer powered by AWS. It's about building a system where robots can adapt, coordinate, and scale without rebuilding everything from scratch every time. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

We trained a robot dog to balance and walk on top of a yoga ball purely in simulation, and then transfer zero-shot to the real world. No fine-tuning. Just works. I’m excited to announce DrEureka, an LLM agent that writes code to train robot skills in simulation, and writes more code to bridge the difficult simulation-reality gap. It fully automates the pipeline from new skill learning to real-world deployment. The Yoga ball task is particularly hard because it is not possible to accurately simulate the bouncy ball surface. Yet DrEureka has no trouble searching over a vast space of sim-to-real configurations, and enables the dog to steer the ball on various terrains, even walking sideways! Traditionally, the sim-to-real transfer is achieved by domain randomization, a tedious process that requires expert human roboticists to stare at every parameter and adjust by hand. Frontier LLMs like GPT-4 have tons of built-in physical intuition for friction, damping, stiffness, gravity, etc. We are (mildly) surprised to find that DrEureka can tune these parameters competently and explain its reasoning well. DrEureka builds on our prior work Eureka, the algorithm that teaches a 5-finger robot hand to do pen spinning. It takes one step further on our quest to automate the entire robot learning pipeline by an AI agent system. One model that outputs strings will supervise another model that outputs torque control. We open-source everything! Welcome you all to check out the paper, more videos, and try the codebase today: Code:

🚀 Announcing Echo — our new frontier model for 3D world generation. Echo turns a simple text prompt or image into a fully explorable, 3D-consistent world. Instead of disconnected views, the result is a single, coherent spatial representation you can move through freely. This is part of a bigger shift in AI: from generating pixels and tokens to generating spaces. Echo predicts a geometry-grounded 3D scene at metric scale, meaning every novel view, depth map, and interaction comes from the same underlying world — not independent hallucinations. Once generated, the world is interactive in real time. You control the camera, explore from any angle, and render instantly — even on low-end hardware, directly in the browser. High-quality 3D world exploration is no longer gated by expensive equipment. Under the hood, Echo infers a physically grounded 3D representation and converts it into a renderable format. For our web demo, we use 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for fast, GPU-friendly rendering — but the representation itself is flexible and can be easily adapted. Why this matters: consistent 3D worlds unlock real workflows — digital twins, 3D design, game environments, robotics simulation, and more. From a single photo or a line of text, Echo builds worlds that are reliable, editable, and spatially faithful. Echo also enables scene editing and restyling. Change materials, remove or add objects, explore design variations — all while preserving global 3D consistency. Editing no longer breaks the world. This is only the beginning. Echo is the foundation for future world models with dynamics, physical reasoning, and richer interaction — environments that don’t just look right, but behave right. Explore the generated worlds on our website and sign up for the closed beta. The era of spatial intelligence starts here. 🌍 #Echo #WorldModels #SpatialAI #3DFoundationModels Check it out:
