Physical AI GPU workflows Without Overhead

The ultimate serverless GPU platform to run simulation, training, viz and batch pipelines

Velda supports every phase of physical AI development: scene visualization, policy training, physics simulation, synthetic data generation, and iteration before hardware deployment, including pipelines across heterogeneous hardware pools.

A practical workflow for robotics teams

Robotics development spans simulation, training, data generation, and real-world validation. This page outlines how Velda maps compute to each stage while keeping environments consistent.

01

Visualize

Stream Isaac Sim in the browser with NVIDIA rendering and OpenUSD scenes, without local installation.

02

Simulate

Run physics-accurate scenario tests and edge-case validation before hardware trials.

03

Train

Launch Isaac Lab policy training on H100 GPUs on demand and shut down capacity when runs complete.

04

Batch

Scale synthetic data generation and parallel scenario execution with elastic batch jobs.

05

Iterate

Feed simulation and training outputs into hardware testing cycles with reproducible runtime environments.

NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab in one platform

Use the same project workspace for simulation authoring, policy training, and data workflows, then scale compute only when needed.

Batch simulation with fan-out scheduling

Run many Isaac Sim scenarios in parallel with a fan-out pattern. This is useful for synthetic data generation and edge-case sweeps across large parameter spaces.

# Example: fan-out batch simulation runs
for scenario in scenarios/*.usd; do
  vbatch --name "sim-${scenario##*/}" -P l40s-1 -- \
    python run_isaac_sim.py --scene "$scenario" --headless
done

On-demand policy training

Run reinforcement learning and robot policy experiments with Isaac Lab on H100 pools. Training pipelines can schedule preprocessing, simulation, and learning stages across heterogeneous hardware such as CPU, L40S, and H100 resources.

# Example: train a policy after CPU preprocessing
vbatch -P cpu-16 --name prep -- python prepare_dataset.py
vbatch -P h100-8 --name policy-train --after-success prep -- \
  python train.py --framework isaac-lab

Interactive Isaac Sim from browser

No local hardware or installation required. Access Isaac Sim, or any GUI editing tools, directly from your browser, with NVIDIA accelerated rendering. Start building in just one click, and only pay for GPUs when active.

Compute model by development phase

Different physical AI stages need different resource profiles. Velda keeps those stages connected without requiring separate infrastructure stacks, and supports one pipeline that spans heterogeneous hardware pools.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from robotics and physical AI teams evaluating browser-accessible GPU infrastructure.

Can Isaac Sim run without local installation?

Yes. Isaac Sim sessions can run on remote GPUs and stream into the browser, which removes local workstation dependency for most simulation tasks.

How does this help with physical AI development?

It keeps simulation, training, and data generation in one operational path so teams can move from virtual testing to hardware validation with fewer environment changes.

What happens when jobs are idle?

Batch and training compute can be released when workloads finish, so capacity is aligned to active simulation and training windows.

Is this only for simulation workloads?

No. The same environment can be used for model training, synthetic data generation, evaluation pipelines, and pre-deployment checks.
