How can simulation be leveraged to accelerate AV safety validation? In this livestream, we will present a general, theoretically grounded framework for AV safety validation whereby real-world tests are paired with simulated tests on corresponding reconstructed scenarios. We will discuss how this approach can dramatically reduce the number of real-world tests required to estimate safety KPIs with a specified level of confidence.

• Attendees will learn:
  • Main considerations to validate high-end autonomy stacks.
  • How simulation can be used to significantly accelerate the task of AV safety validation.
  • More broadly, opportunities offered by generative AI to instantiate a safety data flywheel.

Newton Physics Engine represents a breakthrough in robotics simulation, offering an open-source, GPU-accelerated platform that bridges the critical gap between simulated and real-world robot performance. Developed collaboratively by NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and Disney Research, and managed by the Linux Foundation, Newton is built on NVIDIA Warp and OpenUSD frameworks to provide high-fidelity physics simulation with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

In this livestream, we'll explore Newton's modular architecture supporting multiple physics domains—rigid body dynamics, soft body simulation, cloth modeling, and granular materials. You'll discover how Newton's differentiable physics enables gradient-based optimization for efficient robot learning, and how it can be used with robot learning frameworks like NVIDIA Isaac Lab and MuJoCo playground.
