SANTA CLARA, California, April 15 (Reuters) – Cadence Design ‌Systems and Nvidia are partnering ‌to further the development of artificial intelligence ​for robots, the CEOs of the two companies said on Wednesday.

Cadence, which is one of the ‌major suppliers of ⁠the software used in designing advanced computing chips, ⁠is working with Nvidia to integrate its physics engines, which ​predict how ​real-world materials ​interact, with Nvidia ‌AI models designed to train robots inside computer simulations.

Training robots inside such simulations can be faster than training them in the ‌real world. The goal ​of the collaboration, ​the two ​CEOs said at a ‌conference hosted by Cadence ​in ​Santa Clara, California, is to shrink the time needed to ​get ‌robots to carry out useful ​tasks.
