Animesh Garg reaffirms 'The Path to Autonomy is paved with Simulation' and announces Isaac Orbit has evolved into Isaac Lab within NVIDIA's Omniverse & Robotics efforts. Its ease of use powers much of the training and data-generation pipeline for Project GR00T, and he notes coding agents have helped steer the field back to simulation as the core route to embodied autonomy.
