NVIDIA Hands-On Lab: Isaac Sim and the Fine Art of Making Your Robot Pick Things Up
DescriptionThis hands-on course in the NVIDIA Physical AI Agent Bootcamp turns an empty USD stage into a working Isaac Sim robot scene, with AI agents acting as simulation setup partners. Attendees will import a robot manipulator from URDF, compose the scene using prior lab assets or user-selected environments, and bring SimReady content into Isaac for testing.
The session focuses on the practical path from “nothing is in the scene” to “the robot picked up the cube.” Participants will configure the robot, prepare the object, validate physics behavior, tune the scene, and execute a basic pick-and-place task. Agent skills handle repeatable setup steps so attendees can focus on scene intent, simulation checks, and task behavior.
By the end, attendees will have a composed Isaac Sim scene with a physics-validated robot, interactive assets, and a successful pick-and-place task that connects OpenUSD scene building to robotics simulation.
