Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at GTC 2025 the collaboration with Disney Research and Google DeepMind to create Newton, a physics engine designed to improve robotic movements in real-world environments. Disney plans to utilize Newton for its advanced entertainment robots, including Star Wars-inspired BDX droids, beginning next year at theme parks. The technology aims to enhance the expressiveness of robots and their ability to manage complex tasks effectively. An open-source version of Newton is expected to be released by Nvidia in late 2025, providing developers with customizable tools for simulating robotic interactions with diverse objects.
Nvidia, in collaboration with Disney Research and Google DeepMind, is developing Newton, a physics engine that simulates robotic movements for enhanced interaction in real-world settings.
Disney is set to utilize Newton for its next-gen entertainment robots, allowing them to be more expressive and better at handling complex tasks in parks worldwide.
The physics engine, Newton, is expected to help developers design robots that can interact seamlessly with their environments, enhancing the experience at Disney theme parks.
Nvidia's early open-source version of Newton is anticipated to be released in late 2025, making advanced robotic simulation tools more accessible to developers.
