Newton Physics

Newton is an open-source, GPU-accelerated, and extensible physics engine to advance robot learning and development.

Built on NVIDIA Warp, a developer framework for building and accelerating simulation and spatial computing, Newton enables robots to acquire and refine physical intelligence in a safe, virtual environment. Newton is compatible with learning frameworks such as MuJoCo Playground and NVIDIA Isaac Lab.
