The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source code, has launched Newton, an open source, GPU-accelerated, extensible physics engine that enables faster, more scalable simulations to lower the barrier to robotics research.
Co-developed by Disney Research, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia, Newton was designed and built by and for robotics developers to tackle the modern-day challenges of building generalist robots.
Built on Nvidia Warp and OpenUSD, Newton delivers GPU‑accelerated simulation with a flexible, extensible architecture that supports multiple physics solvers. [Read more…] about Linux Foundation launches Newton with Disney, DeepMind and Nvidia to advance robotics AI
