How to Use NVIDIA Warp and MjWarp to Accelerate Robotics Simulation and Learning Workflows
Faster simulation tools could help roboticists train autonomous systems more efficiently by compressing months of testing into weeks.
Get smart on it
NVIDIA Warp is a Python framework that compiles code to run on GPUs, allowing developers to write high-performance simulation kernels. MuJoCo Warp (MJWarp) applies this GPU acceleration to robot simulation, enabling thousands of independent simulation environments to run in parallel batches on graphics hardware rather than on CPUs. This matters because as machine learning workloads grow, the bottleneck shifts from running a single simulation quickly to running many simulations simultaneously, and GPU parallelization keeps simulation and learning data close together on the device for better performance. The technology uses NVIDIA's Warp framework to implement MuJoCo's physics pipeline on GPUs, allowing compatible robot models to scale from traditional CPU-based workflows to massively parallel GPU-scale simulation.

Sector Snapshot: Construction Robotics Funding Soars To $1.6B, Tripling Previous Peak
Construction companies are struggling to find enough workers. For startups, that means venture investors are pouring money into companies betting that robots can help close the gap. Companies spanning construction and robotics have raised about $1.6 billion this year through Oct. 29 — more than 4x the $389 million recorded in all of 2025 — according to Crunchbase data. The surge was driven by three companies that raised the majority of the funding. The broad trend: For contractors struggling to
LiberAI Unveils Liber-0, a World Action Model That Grounds Human Experience in Robot Action
LiberAI introduces Liber-0, a world action model pretrained on more than 2.2 million hours of human experience to support zero-shot robot manipulation. In an evaluation of 60 tasks proposed by GPT-6, it achieved 36.0% overall success without robot demonstrations collected specifically for those target tasks. The model combines large-scale human video, glove-recorded hand motion and embodiment alignment to transfer human manipulation experience to robots. Liber-0 achieves 36.0% overall success in
Robot integration brings high-precision production to midmarket manufacturers
High-precision manufacturing was once considered something exclusive to large corporations. However, advances in robotic integration and automated manufacturing have changed this perception. Sophisticated capabilities are becoming accessible to midmarket and smaller operations. This shift has led to a more even competitive landscape. Smaller manufacturers have an opportunity to reach new levels of accuracy and efficiency. Today’s robotic systems can help these producers modernize targeted workf
