NVIDIA says physical AI needs exabyte-scale simulation data at SIGGRAPH 2026

At SIGGRAPH 2026, NVIDIA pushed a physical-AI stack centered on verifiable simulation infrastructure.
- The talk argued humanoids and world models need exabyte-scale data, roughly 1,000× autonomous driving.
- Real robot data is highest fidelity but does not scale; internet data lacks embodiment, so simulation becomes the bridge if it is physically trustworthy.
- The proposed SimReady pipeline covers generation, validation, calibration, evaluation, and continuous improvement of physically grounded worlds.
