Newton: Open-Source GPU Physics for Robot Simulation | Physical AI Day at SIGGRAPH 2026

Robotics researchers and developers need faster, physically grounded simulation to model complex interactions and close the sim-to-real gap across diverse robot embodiments. This session from NVIDIA Physical AI Day at SIGGRAPH 2026 introduces Newton, an open-source, GPU-accelerated physics engine built on NVIDIA Warp. With OpenUSD integration, Newton enables real-time simulation of rigid and soft bodies, contact, friction, and actuators for advancing robot learning and simulation research.
