NVIDIA AND GOOGLE DEEPMIND WILL HELP POWER DISNEY'S CUTE ROBOTS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Nvidia and Google DeepMind's Newton is a physics engine that can simulate robotic movements in real-world settings. It will be used by Disney to power its next-generation entertainment robots - a video of one of these robots is available in the article. Newton helps robots be more expressive and learn how to handle complex tasks with precision. It is highly customizable - developers can use it to program robotic interactions with a range of deformable objects. Newton will be compatible with Google DeepMind's ecosystem of robotic development tools.
