🚀 Newton Beta 2 and roadmap to 1.0 is out. SDF-based collisions & hydroelastic contacts for manipulation, cable-type deformables in VBD solver, stronger MuJoCo Warp integration and a new L-BFGS optimizer for IK solver are among major features of Beta. github.com/newton-physics…

We are honored that our NVIDIA Warp has received two @HPCwire Readers’ Choice Awards this year. 🏆 Best HPC Programming Tool or Technology 🏆 Top 5 New Products or Technologies to Watch NVIDIA Warp, an #opensource CUDA-X library, accelerates computational physics by up to 245x. 📗 Learn how Warp can transform your workflow: developer.nvidia.com/warp-python 📝 Dive deeper into the latest release: github.com/NVIDIA/warp/re… #HPCwireRCA25 #SC25

A robot that learns in its dreams - and then those dreams come true. 🤯 It studies physics until it no longer needs equations, just intuition. They call it NeRD: Neural Robot Dynamics. The student that beat the teacher. What a time to be alive! Full video: youtu.be/M8s_cS-aH5w

Good summary of our paper on neural physics - fine tuning learned simulators on real world data is indeed a key motivation. Another nice property is that now your physics engine can run on Tensor Cores and can benefit from all the hardware NVIDIA develops to make LLMs go fast.

Let's hear it for the community. 🎉 The Newton project, an open-source physics engine for robotics simulation, is now part of the @linuxfoundation. This is a huge step toward building a truly community-driven future for robotics research and development.

The laws of physics apply everywhere. ⚛️ Co-developed by NVIDIA, @GoogleDeepMind and Disney Research, Walt Disney Imagineering, the new Newton Beta, managed by the @linuxfoundation, now also runs with Isaac Lab and with MuJoCo Warp, which delivers warp speed for robot learning.

🤖🤖🤖 Following RoboVerse, we introduce another work focused on Robotic Tactile Simulation - Taccel Simulator. Taccel is a high-performance simulation platform for vision-based tactile sensors and robots. 🚀🚀🚀 Boosted by Nvidia Warp, we optimize Taccel with highly parallelized simulations and support 900fps simulation with 4k+ parallel training envs. 🤝🤝🤝 Taccel is designed with user-friendly APIs and is easy to use. We open-sourced all the code and documentation. Feel free to try! Project: taccel-simulator.github.io Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2504.12908 Code: github.com/Taccel-Simulat…

You can read more about Newton here: developer.nvidia.com/blog/announcin…, and if you're at GTC come by the NVIDIA booth to chat with us about physics simulation and robotics!

📣MuJoCo announcement 📣 Thrilled to share that @GoogleDeepMind has unveiled MuJoCo-Warp at @nvidia's #GTC25! 🚀 We've expanded our open-source MuJoCo simulator with MuJoCo-Warp, leveraging NVIDIA’s Warp framework for incredible acceleration. This marks a significant step in making high-performance simulation more accessible.

Big news from Jensen at GTC: NVIDIA Warp is now open source under Apache 2.0! We’re also building Newton, a new physics engine for robotics with DeepMind and Disney—based on Warp and fully open-source.

Register for the @GoogleDeepMind session at #GTC25 to learn how Google integrates core NVIDIA technologies like Warp to improve simulation performance for #humanoid robotics development. Register Now ➡️ nvda.ws/3Xya1YM
