Nvidia unveiled a new platform at CES called Cosmos. It’s a world foundation model (WFM) development platform designed to advance and accelerate Physical AI for robots and self-driving vehicles (which are also, in fact, robots).

Understanding digital twins and physical AI

I’ve written before about Physical AI in general and Nvidia’s initiatives in that space specifically.

The “Physical AI” concept involves creating complex virtual environments that simulate real-world physics, where digital replicas of robots and systems can learn and optimize their performance.

For factory robots, as an example, an Omniverse customer would create a “digital twin” of the factory in a...
