Physical AI is moving from research into production. Robots are increasingly trained in high-fidelity simulation before being deployed to factories, warehouses, and logistics centers, because training in the real world is slow, expensive, and often unsafe, while GPU-accelerated simulation can compress months of learning into hours. This shifts the challenge
