…automation technologies. NVIDIA Isaac Sim is built on NVIDIA Omniverse and is a simulation platform used to develop, test, and deploy robotics applications using artificial intelligence. Its robust physics engine enables detailed, realistic simulations that closely emulate real-world conditions, said NVIDIA. The simulation will be based on physics-based technical product data from automation technologies such as grippers, said SCHUNK. This will allow for “true virtual commissioning of real-world automation projects,” it said. Simulating process automation with physics-based calculations will result in more accurate visualization and optimization before a robot ever reaches a production floor, according to the companies. Automation Explorer…

…used to create a digital twin of Earth in Omniverse. Saildrone uses energy-efficient data processing Saildrone said its USVs enable researchers to collect more data using fewer resources than traditional boats and crews, conserving energy and keeping crews out of danger. The company has built its USVs for harsh weather and long missions. One robot recently completed a 370-day voyage monitoring carbon dioxide, sailing from Rhode Island across the North Atlantic to Cabo Verde, down to the equator off the west coast of Africa, and back to Florida. Running mostly on solar and wind power requires energy-efficient computing to handle…

…as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, an application built on NVIDIA Omniverse—can also provide physically accurate visualizations of the simulator output at each timestep. Using a robotics simulator for outcomes A robotics simulator user will typically import computer-aided design models of the robot and either import or generate objects of interest to build a virtual scene. A developer can use a set of algorithms to perform task planning and motion planning, and then prescribe control signals to carry out those plans. This enables the robot to perform a task and move in a particular way, such as picking up an object and…
