What makes simulation useful when a robot returns to the real world?
I’m hosting Industrial Next, Versor, and ALLSIDES tomorrow, Oct. 6 at 11 AM PDT / 2 PM EDT, to explore the real-to-sim-to-real loop for #PhysicalAI.
Join us live and bring your questions!
Connect real robot behavior, simulation, and deployment. 🤖
Join @IndustrialNxtAI, Versor, and @allsides_tech to explore work on closing the Sim2Real gap and discover the R2S2R Arena, an open research coalition.

Frontier AI models like @OpenAI's ChatGPT-6 Astra are reshaping how CAD data becomes simulation-ready OpenUSD assets.
Watch the livestream replay to learn more about how companies like @PTC and @Vertiv are thinking about this next chapter for AI factory and robotics workflows.

Simulators are time machines. They let us explore possible futures before trying them in the physical world.
AI agents can now automate simulation development that required teams of specialists. We’ve crossed a threshold.
Now everyone can build time machines.
Teaching a robot a sport takes more than showing it a highlight reel. Every move must hold up in physics simulation. 🦾
Robo Olympics, a fun exploratory project by Tae Kim, VP of Engineering for @nvidiaomniverse, explores how frontier intelligence can make physical AI development accessible to everyone.
He built the project using Codex with @OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model, providing natural-language instructions.

We’re experimenting with @OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra live. 🧪
Tune in Wednesday at 11 AM PT as NVIDIA’s @MaxBickley and @aivx_x put Astra and NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to work on a physical AI simulation, testing what the agent can do and where developers step in.
Featuring insights from NVIDIA’s Damien Fagnou and Tae Kim, as well as Omniverse ambassador Michael Wagner. 👏

NVIDIA just published a workflow where Codex, powered by GPT‑6 Astra, coordinates specialized Hermes subagents through NemoClaw.
The agents inspect a Blender scene via MCP, add semantic labels, collision meshes, physics, materials, cameras, and LiDAR, then render preflight views and run SimReady validation before handing it to Isaac Sim.
The interesting part isn’t another multi-agent demo.
Each agent owns a specific tool, task, and acceptance criterion.
That’s what turns orchestration into an engineering workflow.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

NVIDIA announces the first open humanoid robot reference design built for robotics research.
The NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot combines the @UnitreeRobotics H2 humanoid robot, @SharpaRobotics Wave five-fingered hands for dexterous manipulation, Jetson Thor onboard compute, and Isaac GR00T open software and models, giving researchers a full-stack platform from data capture to model deployment.

Simulating different robot use case with NVIDIA Cosmos — all inspired by a single Starbucks scene 🤖
One image in. Grasping, serving, pouring, even a little "hello" wave out. World models are getting wild.

New episode of The Thinking Machine podcast is live!
I sat down with Diana Wolf Torres to break down everything Physical AI and robotics at GTC 2026.
We get into OpenClaw and the DGX Spark, robot safety, and then go company by company through the robotics that stood out. Including Workr, @NobleMachines, Humanoid, @GeneralistAI, @openmind_agi, Asimov, and more!
Every company we discuss is timestamped so you can jump around.
Thanks to @LightwheelAI for making this episode possible.
