  "account": "NVIDIA has introduced the first GPU-accelerated medical physics simulation framework, opening up new possibilities for healthcare robotics development. This open source tool within NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare tackles the challenge of generating varied data required to train, test and improve robot behavior in the complex field of medical robotics. By simulating anatomy-device interaction, generating difficult scenarios, and running in silico tests, the framework accelerates the process of robot policy training and evaluation, ultimately expediting the development of innovative medical robotics solutions.",
  "summary": "Before a healthcare robot can be useful in the real world, it has to learn how the physical world pushes back. Anatomy varies. Instruments bend, press, slip and interact with tissue. Imaging can be noisy or incomplete. And the rare, edge scenarios developers most need to understand don’t appear on schedule. That creates one of […]",
