NVIDIA Hands-On Lab: SimReady or Not, Here Comes Gravity with OpenUSD for Simulation
DescriptionPhysics is at the heart of building reliable physical AI systems, and this course in the NVIDIA Physical AI Agent Bootcamp explores how to move from visual inspection into simulation readiness.

Workflows in physical AI need assets that are structured, validated, and physically meaningful. Building on the prior OpenUSD and RTX viewport lab, this hands-on course moves from visual inspection into simulation readiness.

Attendees will validate OpenUSD assets for simulation-ready (SimReady) workflows, convert CAD and Gaussian splat content to USD, create a physics stage, and assemble environments such as stairs, ramps, or other test layouts. They will enable physics, make scene objects interactable, and run simulations to see how assets behave under gravity and user input.

By the end, attendees will have a runnable physics scene with validated assets, converted USD content, and an interactive environment ready for robotics testing or physical AI workflows.
