Nvidia unveils Mega Omniverse blueprint for building industrial robot fleet digital twins

Nvidia unveils Mega Omniverse blueprint for building industrial robot fleet digital twins, as part of a CES 2025 keynote speech by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

The new framework enables next era of industrial AI and robot simulation through software-defined testing and optimization to factories and warehouses, the company said. According to Gartner, the worldwide end-user spending on all IT products for 2024 was $5 trillion. This industry is built on a computing fabric of electrons, is fully software-defined, accelerated — and now generative AI-enabled. While huge, it’s a fraction of the larger physical industrial market that relies on the movement of atoms.

“In the future, every factory will have a digital twin,” Huang said.

Today’s 10 million factories, nearly 200,000 warehouses and 40 million miles of highways form the “computing” fabric of our physical world. But that vast network of production facilities and distribution centers is still laboriously and manually designed, operated and optimized.

In warehousing and distribution, operators face highly complex decision optimization problems — matrices of variables and interdependencies across human workers, robotic and agentic systems and equipment. Unlike the IT industry, the physical industrial market is still waiting for its own software-defined moment.

That moment is coming, Nvidia said.
