Field AI is building robot brains that enable robots to autonomously manage a wide range of industrial processes. Vention creates pretrained skills to ease development of robotic tasks. And Cobot offers Proxie, an AI-powered cobot designed to handle material movement and adapt to dynamic environments, working seamlessly alongside humans.

These leading robotics startups are all making advances using NVIDIA Isaac Sim on Amazon Web Services. Isaac Sim is a reference application built on NVIDIA Omniverse for developers to simulate and test AI-driven robots in physically based virtual environments.

NVIDIA announced at AWS re:Invent today that Isaac Sim now runs on Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) G6e instances accelerated by NVIDIA L40S GPUs. And with NVIDIA OSMO, a cloud-native orchestration platform, developers can easily manage their complex robotics workflows across their AWS computing infrastructure.

This combination of NVIDIA-accelerated hardware and software — available on the cloud — allows teams of any size to scale their physical AI workflows.

Physical AI describes AI models that can understand and interact with the physical world. It embodies the next wave of autonomous machines and robots, such as self-driving cars, industrial manipulators, mobile robots, humanoids and even robot-run infrastructure like factories and warehouses.

With physical AI, developers are embracing a three computer solution for training, simulation and inference to make breakthroughs.

Yet physical AI for robotics systems requires robust training datasets to achieve precision inference in deployment. Developing such datasets, however, and testing them in real situations can be impractical and costly.

Simulation offers an answer, as it can significantly accelerate the training, testing and deployment of AI-driven robots.

Harnessing L40S GPUs in the Cloud to Scale Robotics Simulation and Training

Simulation is used to verify, validate and optimize robot designs as well as the systems and their algorithms before deployment. Simulation can also optimize facility and system designs before construction or remodeling starts for maximum efficiencies, reducing costly manufacturing change orders.

Amazon EC2 G6e instances accelerated by NVIDIA L40S GPUs provide a 2x performance gain over the prior architecture, while allowing the flexibility to scale as scene and simulation complexity grows. The instances are used to train many computer vision models that power AI-driven robots. This means the same instances can be extended for various tasks, from data generation to simulation to model training.

Using NVIDIA OSMO in the cloud allows teams to orchestrate and scale complex ‌robotics development workflows across distributed computing resources, whether on premises or in the AWS cloud.

Isaac Sim provides access to the latest robotics simulation capabilities and the cloud, fostering collaboration. One of the critical workflows is generating synthetic data for perception model training.

Using a reference workflow that combines NVIDIA Omniverse Replicator, a framework for building custom synthetic data generation (SDG) pipelines and a core extension of Isaac Sim, with NVIDIA NIM microservices, developers can build generative AI-enabled SDG pipelines.

These include the USD Code NIM microservice for generating Python USD code and answering OpenUSD queries, and the USD Search NIM microservice for exploring OpenUSD assets using natural language or image inputs. The Edify 360 HDRi NIM microservice generates 360-degree environment maps, while the Edify 3D NIM microservice creates ready-to-edit 3D assets from text or image prompts. This eases the synthetic data generation process by reducing many tedious and manual steps, from asset creation to image augmentation, using the power of generative AI.

Rendered.ai’s synthetic data engineering platform integrated with Omniverse Replicator enables companies to generate synthetic data for computer vision models used in industries from security and intelligence to manufacturing and agriculture.

SoftServe, an IT consulting and digital services provider, uses Isaac Sim to generate synthetic data and validate robots used in vertical farming with Pfeifer & Langen, a leading European food producer.

Tata Consultancy Services is building custom synthetic data generation pipelines to power its Mobility AI suite to address automotive and autonomous use cases by simulating real-world scenarios. Its applications include defect detection, end-of-line quality inspection and hazard avoidance.

Learning to Be Robots in Simulation

While Isaac Sim enables developers to test and validate robots in physically accurate simulation, Isaac Lab, an open-source robot learning framework built on Isaac Sim, provides a virtual playground for building robot policies that can run on AWS Batch.

Because these simulations are repeatable, developers can easily troubleshoot and reduce the number of cycles required for validation and testing.

Several robotics developers are embracing NVIDIA Isaac on AWS to develop physical AI, such as:

  • Aescape’s robots are able to provide precision-tailored massages by accurately modeling and tuning onboard sensors in Isaac Sim.
  • Cobot has used Isaac Sim with its AI-powered cobot, Proxie, to optimize logistics in warehouses, hospitals, manufacturing sites, and more.
  • Cohesive Robotics has integrated Isaac Sim into its software framework called Argus OS for developing and deploying robotic workcells used in high-mix manufacturing environments.
  • Field AI, a builder of robot foundation models, uses Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab to evaluate the performance of its models in complex, unstructured environments across industries such as construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, mining and more.
  • Standard Bots is simulating and validating the performance of its R01 robot used in manufacturing and machining setup.
  • Swiss Mile is using Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab for robot learning so that wheeled quadruped robots can perform tasks autonomously with new levels of efficiency in factories and warehouses.
  • Vention, which offers a full-stack cloud-based automation platform, is harnessing Isaac Sim for developing and testing new capabilities for robot cells used by small to medium-size manufacturers.

NVIDIA Virtualizes Game Development With RTX PRO Server

NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs centralize compute infrastructure for content creation, AI, engineering and quality assurance, delivering workstation-class performance at data center scale for game studios.
March 10, 2026 by Paul Logan

Game development teams are working across larger worlds, more complex pipelines and more distributed teams than ever. At the same time, many studios still rely on fixed, desk-bound GPU hardware for critical production work.

At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this week in San Francisco, NVIDIA is showcasing a new approach to bring together disparate workflows using virtualized game development on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA vGPU software.

With the RTX PRO Server, studios can centralize and virtualize core workflows across creative, engineering, AI research and quality assurance (QA) — all on shared GPU infrastructure in the data center. 

This enables teams to maintain the responsiveness and visual fidelity they expect from workstation-class systems while improving infrastructure utilization, scalability, data security and operational consistency across teams and locations.

Simplifying Complex Workflows

As game development studios scale, hardware can often sit underutilized in one location while other teams wait to access it for production work. QA capacity is hard to expand quickly. Over time, workstation hardware, drivers and tools diverge, making bugs harder to reproduce. AI workloads are often isolated on separate infrastructure, creating more operational overhead. 

The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server helps studios move from workstation-by-workstation scaling to centralized GPU infrastructure. Studios can pool resources, allocate performance by workload and support parallel development, testing and AI workflows without expanding physical workstation sprawl.

Centralized GPU infrastructure enables studios to run AI training, simulation and game automation workloads overnight, then dynamically reallocate the same resources to interactive development during the day, improving overall utilization and reducing idle capacity.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server supports virtualized workflows for 3D graphics and AI across the game development lifecycle for:

  • Artists: Providing virtual RTX workstations for traditional 3D and generative AI content-creation workflows.
  • Developers: Powering consistent, high-performance engineering environments for coding and 3D development.
  • AI researchers: Offering large-memory GPU profiles for fine-tuning, inference and AI agents.
  • QA teams: Enabling scalable game validation and performance testing using the same NVIDIA Blackwell architecture used by GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.

This allows studios to support multiple teams — including across sites and contractors — on one common GPU platform, improving collaboration and reducing debugging issues that can arise from disparate hardware.

Supporting AI and Engineering on Shared Infrastructure

AI is becoming a core part of everyday game development, spanning coding, content creation, testing and live operations. As these workflows expand, studios need infrastructure that can support AI alongside traditional graphics workloads without introducing separate, siloed systems.

With the RTX PRO Server, studios can support coding agents, internal model experimentation and AI-assisted production workflows without spinning up a separate AI stack for every team.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU features a massive 96GB memory buffer, enabling developers to run multiple demanding applications simultaneously while supporting AI inference on larger models directly alongside real-time graphics workflows.

NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology partitions a single GPU into isolated instances with dedicated memory, compute and cache resources. Combined with NVIDIA vGPU software, MIG can help studios securely allocate GPU capacity across users and workloads. In combined MIG and vGPU configurations, a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU can support up to 48 concurrent users, maximizing utilization while maintaining performance isolation.

Enterprise-Ready Deployment for Game Studios

NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers are designed for enterprise-grade data-center operations. Studios can deploy virtual workstations on RTX PRO Servers via NVIDIA vGPU on supported hypervisor and remote workstation platforms.

That means RTX PRO Servers can fit into studios’ existing infrastructure and IT practices, rather than requiring one-off deployments.

Major game publishers already use NVIDIA vGPU technology to scale centralized development infrastructure and improve efficiency at studio scale.

​Learn more about the NVIDIA RTX PRO Server.

See these workflows live by joining NVIDIA’s booth 1426 at GDC or attending NVIDIA GTC, running March 16-19 in San Jose, California.
