Nebius announced the Physical AI Living Lab, a six-month program that equips British and European robotics startups with NVIDIA's physical AI development tools and Nebius's AI cloud infrastructure. Physical AI depends on large-scale simulation, synthetic data, and accelerated compute that most early-stage robotics companies cannot assemble on their own. The Physical AI Living Lab removes that barrier, putting the same class of tooling and compute used to build physical AI at scale into the hands of founders, so they can move from simulation to real-world deployment faster.

The Lab builds on Nebius and NVIDIA's collaboration to create a cloud platform for robotics and physical AI. The companies intend to extend the Physical AI Living Lab to other regions over time and bring in further cohorts as the program grows. Participating startups in the Physical AI Living Lab will work hands-on using NVIDIA technologies to deploy their physical AI workloads ?

NVIDIA OSMO for workload orchestration, NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Isaac Lab for robot simulation and training ? together with the NVIDIA Physical AI Data Factory Blueprint, all running on Nebius infrastructure. Synthetic data generation is provided through Voxel51's FiftyOne integration, built on Cosmos world foundation models.

The first phase of the Physical AI Living Lab will run on Nebius's UK-based infrastructure, built on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. Beyond the simulation and training tools, participants build, fine-tune and run their models on Nebius AI Cloud ? the company's full-stack platform for taking AI from data and training through to production deployment.

Applications run through the NVIDIA Inception pipeline. The first cohort will begin in September 2026. Engineers from both Nebius and NVIDIA will provide technical guidance throughout the program.
