NVIDIA unveiled at NVIDIA GTC 2025 that leading industrial software and service providers Ansys, Databricks, Dematic, Omron, SAP, Schneider Electric with ETAP, Siemens and more are integrating the NVIDIA Omniverse platform into their solutions to accelerate industrial digitalization with physical AI.

New NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprints connected to NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models are now available to enable robot-ready facilities and large-scale synthetic data generation for physical AI development.

“Omniverse is an operating system that connects the world’s physical data to the realm of physical AI,” says Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation technology at NVIDIA. “With Omniverse, global industrial software, data and professional services leaders are uniting industrial ecosystems and building new applications that will advance the next generation of AI for industries at unprecedented speed.”

New Blueprints Enable Robot-Ready Facilities

Mega, an Omniverse Blueprint for testing multi-robot fleets at scale in industrial digital twins, is now available in preview on build.nvidia.com. Also available is the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization, powered by the NVIDIA Metropolis platform, for building AI agents that monitor activity across entire facilities.

Manufacturing leaders are using the blueprints to optimize their industrial operations with physical AI.

A new Omniverse Blueprint for AI factory digital twins lets data center engineers design and simulate AI factory layouts, cooling and electrical to maximize utilization and efficiency.

The NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Blueprint for synthetic manipulation motion generation is also now available for robotics developers, enabling large-scale synthetic data generation from Omniverse and Cosmos. The blueprint helps humanoid developers reduce data collection time from hours to minutes, fast-tracking robot development.

Omniverse Physical AI Operating System Expands

Omniverse is an operating system built on the OpenUSD framework that enables developers to unify physical-world data and applications.

Ansys, Cadence, Hexagon, Omron, Rockwell Automation and Siemens are integrating Omniverse data interoperability and visualization technologies into their leading industrial software, simulation and automation solutions to accelerate product development and optimize manufacturing processes.

Omniverse in Every Cloud

To simplify development, deployment and scale-out of OpenUSD-based applications, NVIDIA Omniverse is now available as virtual desktop images on EC2 G6e instances with NVIDIA L40S GPUs in AWS Marketplace. The Microsoft Azure Marketplace now features preconfigured Omniverse instances and Omniverse Kit App Streaming on NVIDIA A10 GPUs, allowing developers to develop and stream custom Omniverse applications.

These cloud-based NVIDIA Omniverse developer tools and services are expected to be available later this year on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute bare-metal instances with NVIDIA L40S GPUs, as well as the newly announced NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition on Google Cloud.

OpenUSD Unifies Robotics Workflows

At GTC, NVIDIA introduced the OpenUSD Asset Structure Pipeline for Robotics with Disney Research and Intrinsic. This new structure and data pipeline uses today’s best practices within OpenUSD to work toward unifying robotic workflows, providing a common language for all data sources.

Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%

Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
