NVIDIA’s Newton Engine Advances Robotics with High-Fidelity Simulation
NVIDIA's Isaac Lab and Newton physics engine are redefining robotic development through hyper-realistic simulation environments. The open-source Newton platform—a collaboration between NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and Disney Research—delivers breakthrough capabilities in quadruped locomotion and cloth manipulation tasks.
Built on Nvidia Warp and OpenUSD frameworks, Newton's extensible architecture supports major robot learning systems including MuJoCo Playground. Its multiphysics solver API enables industrial manipulators to master complex tasks like garment folding—a historically challenging problem in sim-to-real transfer.
