15:30 – 17:40:Two parallel sessions:
Hands-on workshop: Accelerate Robot Learning With NVIDIA Isaac Lab and Newton: This hands-on lab introduces Newton, a GPU-accelerated physics engine. Then we'll integrate Newton with Isaac Lab, showing how they can work together in robot-learning workflows. You'll configure tasks to run on Newton, and train and evaluate policies in Isaac Lab with Newton providing high-fidelity, high-throughput physics. You'll leave knowing how to use Newton for more realistic robotics simulation.
Limited to 40 participants. Laptop required.
OR
Connect With Experts
Open session for participants to meet and speak directly with NVIDIA experts.
Who should attend?
Students, researchers, and practitioners interested in robotics, simulation, applied AI, physical AI, and real-world AI systems who want to engage directly with NVIDIA engineers and experts.
Registration
Places are limited. Reserve your spot to join NVIDIA, the AI Team and EPFL Robotics for a full day of talks, demos, technical discussion, networking, and community. We will prioritize people who are able to join the full day!
Important registration note
The hands-on workshop on Newton is limited to 40 seats maximum. Participants selected for the hands-on workshop must bring their own laptop. This is mandatory in order to take part in the lab.
All other participants will be able to connect directly with NVIDIA experts during the Connect With Experts session, which will run at the same time.
