AI / Software > Simulators / Physics Engines

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
