Developers can save a significant amount of training time and reduce costs by using synthetic data in conjunction with real-world data to create carefully labeled datasets for training multi-modal physical AI models. And now, with NVIDIA Cosmos™, developers can generate even larger data sets with 3D-to-real workflows.
Physical AI-powered robots and robot fleets need to autonomously sense, plan, and perform complex tasks in the physical world. These include transporting and manipulating objects safely and efficiently in dynamic and unpredictable environments.
With NVIDIA Cosmos, conditioned on the physics of Omniverse, simulation developers can enhance their AV simulation workflows with high-fidelity, diverse sensor data, and realistic behavior for training perception models and validating the AV software stack.
Preprogrammed robots struggle with unexpected changes, while AI-driven robots use simulation-based learning to adapt to dynamic environments. This lets them refine capabilities like navigation and manipulation, improving performance in a wide variety of scenarios.

NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform of APIs, services, and software development kits (SDKs) that enable developers to build generative AI-enabled tools, applications, and services for industrial digitalization workflows. Applications built on Omniverse core technologies transform complex 3D workflows, allowing individuals and teams to build unified tools and data pipelines and simulate large-scale, physically accurate virtual worlds for industrial and scientific use cases.
To get started developing on NVIDIA Omniverse, you can use the platform SDK or cloud APIs.
Platform SDK
For developers looking to build an application from scratch, NVIDIA offers Omniverse Kit SDK and developer tooling (including the Omniverse App Streaming API) to get started.
For developers looking to take only the pieces they need, NVIDIA offers Omniverse core technologies as simple APIs that developers can self-host on any cloud, multi-cloud, or virtual private cloud. Omniverse core APIs give developers the ability to integrate USD data ingest and RTX-enabled output. Developers can also use Cloud APIs with managed service from NVIDIA Omniverse on Microsoft Azure.
Depending on your licensing type, you will have different levels of access to Omniverse SDKs and APIs. To start developing in a non-production environment, click here. To start developing in a production environment via Enterprise subscription here.
