Closing the Sim-to-Real Gap: Training Spot Quadruped Locomotion with NVIDIA Isaac Lab

Developing effective locomotion policies for quadrupeds poses significant challenges in robotics due to the complex dynamics involved. Training quadrupeds to…

Developing effective locomotion policies for quadrupeds poses significant challenges in robotics due to the complex dynamics involved. Training quadrupeds to walk up and down stairs in the real world can damage the equipment and environment. Therefore, simulators play a key role in both safety and time constraints in the learning process. Leveraging deep reinforcement learning (RL) for…

Supercharge Robotics Workflows with AI and Simulation Using NVIDIA Isaac Sim 4.0 and NVIDIA Isaac Lab

The era of AI robots powered by physical AI has arrived. Physical AI models understand their environments and autonomously complete complex tasks in the…

The era of AI robots powered by physical AI has arrived. Physical AI models understand their environments and autonomously complete complex tasks in the physical world. Many of the complex tasks—like dexterous manipulation and humanoid locomotion across rough terrain—are too difficult to program and rely on generative physical AI models trained using reinforcement learning (RL) in simulation.

Today’s immersive extended reality (XR) devices require heavy optics and displays to be secured with head straps, a necessity that adds bulk and presents a social barrier. In the envisioned future, head straps will not be required. Over the past few years, NVIDIA Research has been researching how to develop smaller and lighter XR glasses in collaboration with the Computational Imaging Group at…
