  Newton is a Linux Foundation open source physics engine, contributed by Disney
  Research, NVIDIA, and Google DeepMind. Built on NVIDIA Warp and integrating
  MuJoCo Warp as a backend, Newton targets roboticists and simulation
  researchers, providing GPU-accelerated, differentiable, OpenUSD-compatible
  physics simulation for AI training, robotics, gaming, and scientific research.

      Newton is a Python library and physics simulation engine. It is consumed
      programmatically via Python (not as an HTTP API), targeting robotics
      simulation, reinforcement learning, and physics-based AI training
      workloads on GPU.
