Nvidia unveils AI tools to accelerate robotics development

VANCOUVER - Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a dominant force in the semiconductor industry with remarkable revenue growth of 86% over the last twelve months to $148.5 billion, announced new software tools and AI models aimed at advancing robotics development during the SIGGRAPH conference on Monday.

The company introduced Omniverse libraries and Cosmos world foundation models designed to help developers create digital twins, reconstruct real-world environments in simulation, and build AI agents with physical world understanding. According to InvestingPro, Nvidia maintains an excellent financial health score of 3.86, supporting its continued investment in cutting-edge technologies.

The new offerings include Omniverse NuRec libraries featuring RTX ray-traced 3D Gaussian splatting technology for real-world reconstruction, and Cosmos Reason, a 7-billion-parameter vision language model that enables robots to interpret environments and execute complex commands using common sense reasoning.

Nvidia also unveiled updated versions of its Isaac Sim 5.0 and Isaac Lab 2.2 robot simulation frameworks, now available on GitHub, along with new software development kits that enable interoperability between MuJoCo and Universal Scene Description formats.

To support these advanced workloads, the company introduced RTX PRO Blackwell Servers and expanded DGX Cloud availability on Microsoft Azure Marketplace, offering a managed platform for streaming OpenUSD and RTX-based applications.

Several companies are already adopting these technologies, including Boston Dynamics, Figure AI, Hexagon, and Amazon Devices & Services. Uber is using Cosmos Reason to annotate autonomous vehicle training data, while Magna is implementing it in its City Delivery autonomous platform.

The announcement comes as Nvidia positions itself at the intersection of computer graphics and artificial intelligence, which the company believes will transform robotics development across industries.
