Digit will be demonstrating innovative and autonomous workflows at NVIDIA Booth #944 throughout the GTC AI Conference.
NVIDIA Isaac Lab is an open-source modular framework for robot learning designed to simplify how robots learn and adapt to new skills in simulation, while NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a reference application that enables developers to simulate and test AI-driven robotics solutions. Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim are both used by robotics developers to train new policies using Digit with reinforcement learning in physically-based, virtual environments. This already has led to improvements in areas like step-recovery, improving the stability of Digit by helping to manage physical disturbances such as being pushed or bumped by using AI models trained across billions of instances.
“When it comes to hardware for running AI models and the software for creating them, we continue to benefit from our strong collaboration with NVIDIA,” according to Agility Robotics’ Chief Technology Officer Pras Velagapudi. “NVIDIA's focus on technologies to enable physical AI is helping us advance the capabilities of Digit faster than ever.”
Agility makes use of NVIDIA’s AI acceleration platform for real-time perception and reinforcement-learned controllers onboard Digit. This platform allows humanoid robots to host robust models that can process sensor data and make decisions in real time – crucial for interactions with humans in dynamic environments.
“Agility’s work with Digit represents a significant breakthrough in humanoid robotics,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA. “By leveraging simulation and reinforcement learning, they are developing Physical AI capable of understanding and interacting with the real world – an essential step in advancing Digit’s intelligence.”
Also announced today, Agility has been provided with early access to NVIDIA Cosmos and the Mega NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint. NVIDIA Cosmos is a platform of generative world foundation models, and Mega is a blueprint for simulating, testing, and optimizing physical AI and robot fleets at scale in digital twins. The use of the Mega blueprint is already underway with Agility and automotive manufacturing customer Schaeffler. Agility has thus far been able to represent assets such as common facility items in digital form. These digital twins of assets, such as bins and shelves, are used by Agility to coordinate customer deployments such as Schaeffler’s. Schaeffler provides digital assets and NVIDIA’s Omniverse provides a common platform for efficient testing and training, an ideal way to optimize operations with physical AI.
Digit is the most advanced Mobile Manipulation Robot (MMR) on the market and recognized as the only humanoid autonomous robot actually getting paid to work in warehouses and factories today. Designed to navigate our world, Digit can walk into existing facilities and address the hardest-to-automate workflows. Digit is already deployed at multiple customer sites, solving some of the biggest issues in several different industries.
At GTC, Agility Chief Technology Officer Pras Velagapudi will be speaking alongside NVIDIA Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology Rev Lebaredian in the panel “Physical AI for the Next Frontier of Industrial Digitalization” on Tuesday, March 18 from 2:00-3:00 PM PDT, and with NVIDIA Senior Research Scientist Jim Fan in the panel “A New Era of Generalist Robotics: The Rise of the Humanoids” on Wednesday, March 19 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM PDT.
