3 robotics trends from NVIDIA GTC 2026

Even on the hardware side, many developers are focusing on making it easier to create robots. Nexcom, for example, launched its humanoid robot development kit.

3. Simulation plays a role in every part of the robot lifecycle

As robots make their way into increasingly complicated environments, simulation training becomes more and more important.

ABB released its RoboStudio HyperReality, which integrates NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to close the long‑standing sim‑to‑real gap in industrial robotics. #### Related Articles Read More >
