大家怎么看？在机器人这个领域有何影响？下面是Chatgpt给的有关newton project 进展的回答
Nvidia’s Newton project, introduced at the GTC 2025 AI conference, is an open-source physics engine developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Disney Research. Its primary goal is to bridge the “simulation-to-reality” gap in robotics by providing highly realistic physics modeling, ensuring that robots trained in virtual environments exhibit behaviors akin to real-world operations.
Built on Nvidia’s Warp framework, Newton offers GPU-accelerated simulations, enhancing performance and scalability. It supports integration with huisimulators like MuJoCo-Warp and Nvidia’s Isaac Lab, facilitating complex, contact-rich robotic simulations. Additionally, Newton introduces differentiable physics, allowing robots to learn and optimize behaviors more effectively.
Disney Research is among the first to implement Newton, utilizing it to enhance their robotic character platform. This collaboration has led to the development of expressive robots like “Blue,” a Star Wars-inspired droid that interacted with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during the GTC keynote. These robots are slated for deployment in Disney parks, including Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris.
Looking ahead, the initial version of Newton is expected to be available later this year, with ongoing developments aimed at further advancing robotic simulations and real-world applications.
