A robotic surgical arm inside an operating room, the kind of hardware Nvidia's new simulation framework is built to train

nvidia just turned a 5-hour robot training run into under 2 minutes — for surgical robots

A new open-source physics engine lets Nvidia GPUs simulate thousands of surgical robot training runs in parallel — and hospitals, not gamers, are the ones lining up to use it.
