PhysX
A real-time physics simulation engine developed by NVIDIA. It supports the simulation of physical effects including rigid body collisions, joint constraints, and fluids, and is widely integrated into game engines and robotics simulation platforms.

Timeline (last 90 days)
The SimReady specification enables the same asset file to serve both rendering preview and physical simulation by embedding property definitions compliant with physics engines such as PhysX into USD files.
ML-Agents provides a joint control interface based on the PhysX engine that can apply torque or target angles to each joint; the observation space typically includes proprioceptive information such as joint angles, angular velocities, center-of-mass position, and velocity.
MuJoCo uses a soft-constraint-based contact model that approximates penetration through penalty terms, while Isaac Lab is based on the GPU-parallel PhysX engine optimized for large-scale parallel simulation.
Game engines such as Bullet and PhysX typically precompute a low-polygon approximate convex hull for each complex mesh to serve as a collision proxy.
When physical properties are missing, physics engines (such as NVIDIA PhysX) cannot correctly simulate collisions, gravity, and joint motion, causing simulation results to be distorted

There are generally two implementation paths for AI models to internalize physical laws: incorporating large amounts of synthetic videos generated by physics simulation engines for statistical learning, or introducing explicit physics constraint modules into the model architecture.
