FANUC and NVIDIA build robots that act identically in simulation and reality

FANUC and NVIDIA linked Isaac Sim with ROBOGUIDE to create synchronized digital twins for factory robots.

The integration adds physics-based testing and AI training tools to better close the sim-to-real gap.

A dual-arm system also learned cloth folding from human demonstrations, showing progress in imitation learning.

The effort could cut costly on-site testing and speed up deployment of industrial robots.
