Nvidia Isaac SIM
NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a high-fidelity, photorealistic robotics simulation platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse. Unlike traditional simulators that focus primarily on physics, Isaac Sim leverages NVIDIA’s RTX GPU technology to create "digital twins"—virtual environments so visually and physically accurate that robots trained inside them can transfer their skills directly to the real world (Sim-to-Real).
