🤖 I spoke with my friend at Lightwheel, Mustafa Mohammadi, about our next livestream featuring Steve Xie, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Lightwheel, and Madison Huang, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at NVIDIA. Steve brings deep expertise in simulation and AI, and previously worked at NVIDIA before founding Lightwheel. On Wednesday Oct. 8 at 9am PDT, they’ll dive into one of the most critical challenges in robotics: the Sim2Real gap, the divide between what robots learn in simulation and how they perform in the real world. Discover how SimReady assets, advanced simulation pipelines, and large-scale synthetic data are accelerating robotics development, improving reliability, and lowering costs. See how NVIDIA Omniverse and Lightwheel are advancing physics simulation, SimReady asset standardization, and AI policy evaluation to close the Sim2Real gap, laying the foundation for Cosmos, NVIDIA’s unified platform connecting simulation, data, and AI-driven training at scale. 📅 Links for Oct. 8, 9am PDT livestream with Lightwheel in comments!
