NVIDIA Isaac Sim
NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ is a reference application enabling developers to design, simulate, test, and train AI-based robots and autonomous machines in a physically-based virtual environment.
Isaac Sim, built on NVIDIA Omniverse, is fully extensible, enabling developers to build their own Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)-based custom simulators or integrate core Isaac Sim technologies into their existing testing and validation pipelines.
Introducing NVIDIA Isaac Lab
NVIDIA Isaac Lab is a lightweight sample application built on Isaac Sim and optimized for robot learning that's pivotal for robot foundation model training. Isaac Lab optimizes reinforcement, imitation, and transfer learning and can train all types of robot embodiments, including the Project GR00T foundation model for humanoids.

Key Benefits of Isaac Sim
Realistic Simulation
Isaac Sim makes the most of the Omniverse platform’s powerful simulation technologies. These include advanced GPU-enabled physics simulation with NVIDIA PhysX® 5, photorealism with real-time ray and path tracing, and MDL material definition support for physically based rendering.
Modular Architecture for a Variety of Applications
Isaac Sim is built to address many of the most common use cases, including manipulation, navigation, and synthetic data generation for training data. Its modular design also means the tool can be customized and extended to many new use cases.
Seamless Connectivity and Interoperability
Isaac Sim benefits from the Omniverse platform’s OpenUSD interoperability across 3D and simulation tools - enabling developers to easily design, import, build, and share robot models and virtual training environments.
Now, you can easily connect the robot’s brain to a virtual world through the Isaac ROS/ROS 2 interface, full-featured Python scripting, and plug-ins for importing robot and environment models.
