Ever crashed a pricey robot prototype into a wall during testing? Or waited days for one trial-and-error run to wrap up? If you’re into robots—whether for fun, factories, or the future—those headaches are real. But what if you could simulate thousands of bots at once, tweaking their brains in hours instead of weeks? Enter Brax, Google’s free open-source physics engine that’s revolutionizing how we “teach” […] Read More

In robotics, physics engines and simulators serve different but complementary roles. A physics engine handles the mathematics of simulation such as computing forces, collisions, and the dynamics that make objects move and interact realistically. A simulator builds on these engines to provide a complete virtual testing environment, by adding sensors, 3D environments, visualization tools, and interfaces for communication with frameworks like ROS 2. In short, […] Read More

NVIDIA and OpenAI have just entered into a partnership, to build 10 GW of AI data centers with NVIDIA GPUs. As each GW is deployed, NVDIA will invest gradually a total of $100 Billion, starting second half of 2026. The data centers will train OpenAIs next generation AI infrastructure. The detail of the strategic partnership will be finalized in the coming weeks. See press release […] Read More

A neural network is made of layers, and layers are made of nodes (also called neurons or units). It is these nodes that process input data. First, each neuron that receives input. If this is the first layer, the input is raw data. If it is a higher order layer, the input comes from the layer below. The node applies weights to the inputs. Then […] Read More

When designing robots, there is the need for a system in standardized format, to describe physical and kinematic properties of a robot. This is achieved by a robot description format. There are several commonly used formats including but not limited to URDF, SDF, MJCF. URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) is an XML based format which describes physical and kinematic properties of a robot for use […] Read More
