- 6Hugging Face Blog·9/23/2026framework_updateHow NVIDIA Warp and MJWarp Speed Up Robotics Simulation
The article explains how MuJoCo Warp (MJWarp), built on NVIDIA Warp, moves compatible MuJoCo robotics simulations from CPU execution to large-batch GPU execution. It highlights a workflow that scales an SO-101 arm simulation to up to 2,048 parallel environments and describes validation and integration steps, without training a policy.

AWS’s Strands Robots SDK integrates LeRobot as AgentTools, letting a single agent handle simulation, dataset recording, policy inference, and deployment to physical robots. The workflow keeps LeRobot datasets in the same on-disk format across simulation and hardware, and can also coordinate multiple robots over a peer mesh.
