NVIDIA's announcement counts more than 2,000 assets, while @calebfahlgren puts the number at 2,500+. The assets use OpenUSD format, and the Hub now supports OpenUSD browsing. The library targets robotics and AI factory digital twins, with contributions from OEMs like Vertiv, FANUC, Franka Robotics, Robotiq, Universal Robots, and LG Electronics. Each asset includes simulation properties such as collision geometry, mass, and friction, validated against SimReady Foundation profiles. NVIDIA USD Search enables natural language search, and developers can use frontier models like OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to assemble scenes and generate Python code for Isaac Sim. ## Content NVIDIA has put its SimReady Central Library on the Hugging Face Hub. It is a free, open collection of more than 2,000 simulation-ready 3D assets in OpenUSD format, aimed at robotics and AI factory digital twins. Counts in the community posts vary: one puts it at 2,500+, another at 2,575 assets in a 472GB collection covering everyday objects and tools. The Hub itself now supports OpenUSD, which means you can browse the 3D assets there directly. ## What's in it The library includes robot arms, grippers, warehouse equipment, racks, and cooling infrastructure. Some of the assets come from OEMs: Vertiv, FANUC, Franka Robotics, Robotiq, Universal Robots, and LG Electronics. Each asset ships with simulation properties already attached: collision geometry, mass, and friction. These are validated against SimReady Foundation profiles, so you don't have to rig everything yourself before dropping an object into a scene. ## Finding and using assets NVIDIA USD Search lets you look for assets with natural-language queries. Developers can also pair the library with frontier models, such as OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, to assemble scenes and generate Python code. The announced use cases are pick-and-place setups and AI factory layouts built in Isaac Sim. The practical appeal is simple. Good 3D assets with real physics properties are tedious to make, and having a validated, openly hosted set in one place removes a lot of setup work for robotics and simulation teams. ## Questions this post answers ### What format are the assets in NVIDIA's SimReady Central library on Hugging Face? The assets are in OpenUSD format, and the Hugging Face Hub now supports browsing OpenUSD files directly. SimReady Central Library holds more than 2,000 assets according to NVIDIA's announcement, with one contributor counting over 2,500. Each asset includes simulation properties like collision geometry, mass, and friction, validated against SimReady Foundation profiles. _Teams building robotics simulations can track new asset libraries and format support on daily.dev._ ### Which companies contributed robot and equipment models to NVIDIA's SimReady asset library?
