Chip Talk > NVIDIA Revolutionizes Robotics with Omniverse and Cosmos Models
Published August 11, 2025
NVIDIA's recent announcements mark a significant advancement in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. With the introduction of new NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models (WFMs), developers can now accelerate the creation and implementation of advanced robotics solutions. These tools, powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA DGX Cloud, are set to redefine the way robotics solutions are developed and deployed.

NVIDIA's Omniverse SDKs and libraries offer developers the ability to build and deploy cutting-edge industrial AI and robotics simulations. The enhanced interoperability between MuJoCo (MJCF) and Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) enables over 250,000 developers to simulate robotics across a variety of platforms seamlessly.
With these tools, Boston Dynamics, Figure AI, and other industry leaders can accelerate the development of their AI robotics applications, ultimately leading to more efficient and sophisticated autonomous systems.
The Cosmos WFMs provide a foundation model used for simulating real-world conditions. These models allow developers to generate synthetic datasets to train robotics algorithms effectively. Leveraging these datasets, NVIDIA's Cosmos Reason model enables AI agents to reason like humans, understanding and acting upon complex environments based on prior knowledge and common sense.
This reasoning capability is instrumental in environments like autonomous driving and city planning, where robots must interpret their surroundings and act reliably.
To fully exploit these innovations, NVIDIA has introduced AI infrastructure designed for intensive workloads. The new NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Servers offer a unified architecture that supports everything from training and synthetic data generation to simulation and deployment in robotics research.
Developers can now access NVIDIA DGX Cloud via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, providing a robust platform for streaming OpenUSD- and NVIDIA RTX-based applications at scale, reducing the burden of managing complex infrastructure.
NVIDIA's efforts extend beyond their own innovations, working with various industry leaders. For instance, Voxel51's FiftyOne data engine eases data preparation for reconstructions, used extensively by automotive giants like Ford and Porsche.
The Omniverse and Cosmos models are not just theoretical; they are being actively adopted by companies like Uber for Autonomous Vehicle training data annotation, and by Magna for adapting autonomous vehicles to new urban environments more efficiently.
The strategic collaboration with partners such as Boston Dynamics and Amazon Devices underlines NVIDIA's commitment to push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics and AI development.
Robotics and physical AI represent a rapidly advancing field with significant implications across various industries, from manufacturing and logistics to urban planning and transportation.
As AI and simulation technologies advance, the potential for creating more efficient, safe, and intelligent robotic systems will continue to grow. NVIDIA's tools provide a platform for pushing these boundaries, heralding a future where AI-powered robotics are a cornerstone of various industry sectors.
