…NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a robotics simulator developed on NVIDIA Omniverse, to build a simulated robotic programming environment for its aluminum hot forging production lines. This collaboration is set to enhance safety and efficiency in Toyota’s manufacturing processes. Typically, programming robotic systems for forging necessitates that the metal parts remain hot during programming, presenting significant safety challenges. With the integration of ForgeOS and NVIDIA Isaac Sim - an extensible application developed on the Omniverse platform for simulating, developing and testing robots - programming can now be accomplished in a simulated environment, eliminating the risks associated with hot parts. Safeguards in the…
