NVIDIA launches Cosmos AI platform to transform robotics and autonomous vehicles

NVIDIA has launched a new AI platform called Cosmos at CES in Las Vegas. This platform aims to enhance robotics and autonomous vehicles by using advanced simulations and open-source access. It features world foundation models that generate realistic video simulations based on 20 million hours of real-world data. Cosmos allows developers to create virtual environments for training robots and vehicles without needing extensive real-world data. It includes three model categories—Nano, Super, and Ultra—tailored for different performance needs. The platform can process large datasets quickly, significantly reducing development time. The introduction of Cosmos is seen as a significant advancement in AI for robotics. It addresses challenges in training AI systems for real-world applications. However, experts note that further improvements in model sophistication and understanding of real-world physics are still needed.
