Simulation

Simulation enables humanoid robots to be developed, tested, and trained before they interact with the physical world. It accelerates iteration, reduces hardware risk, and enables safe prototyping of control policies, mechanical systems, and behavior logic.

Modern platforms like Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Brax support high-fidelity physics, multi-agent scenes, and contact-rich environments. The central goal is sim-to-real transfer: policies trained virtually that adapt to the unpredictability of the real world.

For example, Humanoid is leveraging NVIDIA technology to address key challenges in robotics development. Using NVIDIA Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms, Humanoid rapidly iterates their robot in simulation environments, aiming to reduce prototyping cycles to 6 weeks.
