Simulation for Physical AI: A Review

Gathering data for physical AI in the real world is a slow, expensive, and risky process. Simulation enables generating large volumes of photorealistic physical data through GPU parallelism. This article reviews popular simulation engines: MuJoCo, MuJoCo Warp, NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, as well as the new physics engine Newton, developed by NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and Disney Research.
