    Nvidia drops open-source physics engine for robots

    Nvidia just launched Newton, an open-source GPU-accelerated physics engine co-developed with Google DeepMind and Disney Research, alongside its new Isaac GR00T N1.6 humanoid foundation model. Newton simulates messy, complex physical interactions like walking on snow or handling fragile objects. It gives developers a unified stack to train physical AI in simulation and deploy it safely to real robots.

    Disney teaches robots to dance using random motion data

    Disney Research just developed an AI system that lets robots learn complex, lifelike movements directly from random motion data. By breaking down and simplifying short movement clips, the system trains controllers to execute dynamic motions that actually hold up in the real world. Why it matters: It could eliminate tedious motion programming and help service robots adapt to unpredictable real-world environments.
