Nebius Partners with NVIDIA to Launch Open-Source Physical AI Workbench, Cutting Robot Development Time by Up to 40%

On October 21 that Nebius announced it has partnered with NVIDIA to launch an open-source Physical AI Workbench, bringing AI Agent workflows into robotics and physical AI development. The framework covers the complete development pipeline including data generation, simulation, training, and evaluation, and allows Agents to directly read, inspect, and manipulate workflows. Nebius stated that customers have reported engineering development time reductions of up to 40%, with some iteration cycles compressed from weeks to days.

The Physical AI Workbench is based on NVIDIA's Physical AI technology stack, integrating NVIDIA's Cosmos Data Factory, Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Isaac GR00T, and SONIC. It supports GPU infrastructure such as B300, GB300, and RTX PRO 6000, while also incorporating open-source and partner tools like Antioch, Genesis, Voxel51, and Foxglove.

Nebius has also partnered with German robotics company Sereact to design production-ready Agent workflows for enterprises. The inaugural project will be deployed for a sim-to-real workflow in Zalando's returns processing scenario. The framework is now available on GitHub.
