Former NVIDIA research scientist Sanja Fidler and others co-founded VeedaAI to build physical AI simulated reality

In comparison, former NVIDIA research scientist Sanja Fidler published an article announcing the co-founding of VeedaAI with long-time collaborators ZgoJCIC and HuanLing6. The company is committed to building simulated reality for physical AI as a key infrastructure layer for interactive robot learning and evaluation, enabling robot intelligence to learn on a large scale through trial and error in a virtual world.

Fidler said that in the real world, trial and error training for robots is unsafe, expensive, and time-consuming, and requires the use of simulated reality to achieve large-scale interactive learning. The team believes that the world model is a core technology that can learn from massive sensors and physical world data to generate simulated environments with quality, diversity, and physical realism. VeedaAI is supported by Khosla Ventures and Radical Ventures, and team members have years of experience in simulation, generative AI, 3D, robotics, and embodied intelligence.
