A new open-source physics engine just dropped… and it could change how robots learn. Newton, built by @nvidia with support from @GoogleDeepMind and Disney Research, is now part of The Linux Foundation. It’s designed to bring precise, GPU-powered physics to robotics and https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1997014378508423344

Long horizon robotics is hard. Robots drift, forget the goal, and fall apart when a task takes hundreds of steps. This small independent team hit rank 1 on Stanford’s Behavior1K benchmark by Fei Fei Li’s lab… Ahead of teams from NVIDIA, CMU, and several big labs. What they https://x.com/IlirAliu_/status/1997322375965143399

Robotics feels upside down sometimes. We can get humanoids to kick and jump, but opening a door with RGB is still a frontier. This new work from NVIDIA GEAR shows we are finally getting closer.
