Use physics as a non-linearity in your neural network. A single timestep, nimble.timestep(state, controls), is a valid PyTorch function.

We support an analytical backwards pass, that works even through contact and friction.

It's as easy as:

from nimble import timestep

# Everything is a PyTorch Tensor, and this is differentiable!!
next_state = timestep(world, current_state, control_forces)

Nimble started life as a fork of the popular DART physics engine, with analytical gradients and a PyTorch binding. We've worked hard to maintain as much backwards compatability as we can, so many simulations that worked in DART should translate directly to Nimble.
