Nvidia will make the modern physics engine Newton open source in July
AI Summary
According to Odaily, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that creating robots in the physical world is impractical, emphasizing the need for their training in a virtual environment that adheres to the laws of physics. Nvidia is collaborating with DeepMind and Disney Research to develop Newton, the world's most advanced physics engine, which is planned to be released as open source in July. Newton is fully accelerated by GPU, has high differentiability, and is capable of ultra-realistic operation execution, allowing for effective learning through experience. The engine is integrated into Nvidia's ISAAC simulator, enabling robots to 'come to life' in a realistic manner.
