Newton Physics Engine: How NVIDIA, Google DeepMind & Disney Are Reshaping Sim-to-Real Robotics

Before a robot takes its first step in the real world, it’s already walked millions of miles in simulation.

Newton — a next-generation physics engine from NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and Disney Research — is built to close that gap. GPU-accelerated. Differentiable. Open-source under the Linux Foundation.

We break down what Newton is, how it compares to MuJoCo and Genesis, and why this collaboration could reshape how robots learn to navigate the physical world.
