10 Technologies for Autonomous Vehicle, Robotics Developers From NVIDIA’s GTC 2021

Omniverse Replicator for Isaac Sim, robot manipulation

NVIDIA announced Omniverse Replicator, an engine for generating synthetic data for training deep neural networks. One of the company’s first implementations is an application for NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a virtual world for digital twins of manipulation robots.

“Omniverse Replicator allows us to create diverse, massive, accurate datasets to build high-quality, high-performing, and safe datasets, which is essential for AI,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation technology and Omniverse engineering at NVIDIA. “While we have built two domain-specific data-generation engines ourselves, we can imagine many companies building their own with Omniverse Replicator.”
