NVIDIA Newton: Robot Dogs Taught to Walk in Just 30 Minutes

NVIDIA has just turbo-charged the robotic learning curve with its latest Isaac Lab update, codenamed ‘Newton’. In a display of sheer computational muscle, the platform can now train quadruped robots to master their gait in under 30 minutes flat. This leap in massively parallel GPU simulation is a vital cog in NVIDIA’s broader push towards general-purpose robotics, sitting alongside high-stakes projects like Translation not available (en-gb) . It seems the machines are learning to find their feet faster than a Friday night takeaway arrives at your door.
