The world of robotics is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by rapid advancements in physical AI. This evolution is accelerating the time to market for new robotic solutions, enhancing confidence in their safety capabilities, and contributing to the powering of physical AI in factories and warehouses. Announced at GTC, Newton is an open-source, extensible physics engine developed…
]]>Universal Scene Description, also called OpenUSD or USD, is an open and extensible framework for creating, editing, querying, rendering, collaborating, and simulating within 3D worlds. Invented by Pixar Animation Studios, USD is much more than a file format. It is an ecosystem and interchange paradigm that models, labels, classifies, and combines a wide range of data sources into a composed ground…
]]>Custom schemas in Universal Scene Description, known as OpenUSD or USD, are pivotal for developers seeking to represent and encode sophisticated virtual worlds. By formalizing data models, schemas enable the interpretation of raw data by USD-compliant runtimes. Whether underpinning physics simulations or expanding digital twins, custom schemas provide the foundation for creativity, fidelity…
]]>A new paradigm for data modeling and interchange is unlocking possibilities for 3D workflows and virtual worlds.
]]>Developers are using Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) to push the boundaries of 3D workflows. As an ecosystem and interchange paradigm, OpenUSD models, labels, classifies, and combines a wide range of data sources into a composed ground truth. It is also highly extensible with four key features that help developers meet the demands of virtual worlds. In this video series…
