NVIDIA, Disney & Google Contribute Open-Source Newton Engine To The Linux Foundation
Earlier this year NVIDIA announced Newton as an open-source physics engine focused on robotic simulations. This physics engine was developed by NVIDIA in cooperation with Google DeepMind and Disney Research. Today it's been contributed to the Linux Foundation.
The open-source Newton engine builds atop NVIDIA Warp as a developer framework for building and accelerating data generation and spatial computing in the Python programming language. Warp in turn is accelerated when making use of NVIDIA CUDA-X. Netwon also builds on other software such as the OpenUSD framework and MuJuCo compatibility. The focus on Newton is on enhancing the open-source robotics software ecosystem.
Today the Linux Foundation announced that NVIDIA, Disney Research, and Google DeepMind have contributed the code for accelerating open-source robotics learning.
Those wanting to learn more can do so via the Linux Foundation press release. The Newton open-source code continues to be developed on GitHub.
