Agility Robotics Announces Expanded Collaboration With NVIDIA

Agility Robotics announced that it is expanding its use of NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab to train its Digit robots, and will make the Digit model available to partners through NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint “Mega.” It also gained early access to NVIDIA Cosmos.

The significance is that Agility Robotics is expanding the training and validation of its bipedal Digit robot using NVIDIA’s simulation and learning frameworks, allowing it to iteratively test new control policies in virtual environments. The company said it is using the tools to improve behaviors such as recovering after being pushed. It also said it will use Mega to test and tune the operation of multiple robots in digitalized environments featuring factory equipment such as shelving and transport boxes.
