Nvidia launches Cosmos platform to simulate realities for training robots and self-driving cars

Nvidia has launched a new platform called "Cosmos" that allows researchers to simulate various realities and real-world physics. This tool generates synthetic data to train advanced robots and self-driving cars, addressing the growing need for training data as real-world footage becomes scarce. The Cosmos platform uses multiverse simulation to predict every possible outcome in specific scenarios. It combines advanced machine learning techniques to create vast amounts of artificial video footage, which can be used for training AI systems more efficiently and safely. Nvidia aims to make this technology accessible to all developers by offering the world foundation models under open-source licensing. This move is intended to support the development of robotics and autonomous vehicles across the industry.
