At NVIDIA Physical AI Day during SIGGRAPH 2026, @LightwheelAI showcased robots first simulated in Isaac Lab Arena and then deployed in a surgery room for a high-attrition task.
The post emphasizes the sim-to-real pipeline: robotics systems are trained in simulation and then transferred to a demanding real-world medical setting, with NVIDIA framing it as part of its physical AI push.
