Robot OEMs Including KUKA and FANUC Release Hardware Models to Nvidia's SimReady Hub

Robot OEMs including KUKA, FANUC, Universal Robots, and Comau have released simulation-ready hardware models to NVIDIA's SimReady library on Hugging Face, marking a departure from the industry standard of keeping CAD files proprietary. These contributions are part of a 472GB collection of 2,575 3D assets in the OpenUSD exchange format, including physics data to help researchers build digital twins and train robot policies. The release follows approximately one month after Nvidia announced its acquisition of the Hugging Face hub.
