Nebius and Nvidia launch Physical AI Living Lab for European robotics startups

Nebius, the AI cloud firm, has introduced the Bodily AI Dwelling Lab, a six-month program that equips British and European robotics startups with Nvidia’s bodily AI growth instruments and Nebius’s AI cloud infrastructure. 

Bodily AI is dependent upon large-scale simulation, artificial information, and accelerated compute that the majority early-stage robotics firms can not assemble on their very own.

The Bodily AI Dwelling Lab removes that barrier, placing the identical class of tooling and compute used to construct bodily AI at scale into the arms of founders, to allow them to transfer from simulation to real-world deployment quicker.

The Lab builds on Nebius and Nvidia’s collaboration to create a cloud platform for robotics and bodily AI. The businesses intend to increase the Bodily AI Dwelling Lab to different areas over time and usher in additional cohorts as this system grows.

Evan Helda, Head of Bodily AI at Nebius, stated: “Most robotics groups can construct a robust mannequin – the bottleneck is getting the simulation, artificial information, and compute in place to take it additional.


“The Dwelling Lab is constructed round that downside: founders get the total Nvidia bodily AI stack on Nebius AI Cloud and direct time with our engineers, in order that they spend time constructing robots, not assembling infrastructure.

“That proximity works each methods – working shoulder-to-shoulder with these groups sharpens how we run bodily AI ourselves, and that suggestions loop is strictly what we need to replicate as we deliver the Lab to extra cohorts and areas.”

Anthony Hills, director, UK&I, Nvidia, stated: “The UK has world-class robotics and AI analysis, however there’s nonetheless an actual hole between that innovation and scaled, market-ready options in bodily AI.

“This lab is about closing that hole by giving UK founders inexpensive entry to the primary two computer systems bodily AI wants most: cloud-scale coaching on Nebius and Nvidia’s full simulation and artificial information stack, together with Cosmos and Isaac, working on Nvidia RTX PRO GPUs.

“By eradicating the compute and tooling obstacles that often gradual robotics firms down, we’re giving UK startups a transparent path from promising prototype to deployed programs that may transfer the needle for the UK financial system and society.”

Collaborating startups within the Bodily AI Dwelling Lab will work hands-on utilizing Nvidia applied sciences to deploy their bodily AI workloads – Nvidia OSMO for workload orchestration, Nvidia Cosmos world basis fashions, and Nvidia Isaac Sim and Nvidia Isaac Lab for robotic simulation and coaching – along with the Nvidia Bodily AI Information Manufacturing facility Blueprint, all working on Nebius infrastructure.

Artificial information era is supplied via Voxel51’s FiftyOne integration, constructed on Cosmos world basis fashions.

The primary section of the Bodily AI Dwelling Lab will run on Nebius’s UK-based infrastructure, constructed on Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Version GPUs.

Past the simulation and coaching instruments, members construct, fine-tune and run their fashions on Nebius AI Cloud – the corporate’s full-stack platform for taking AI from information and coaching via to manufacturing deployment.

Purposes run via the Nvidia Inception pipeline. The primary cohort will start in September 2026. Engineers from each Nebius and Nvidia will present technical steerage all through this system.
