NVIDIA SimReady Central
Provider：NVIDIA x Hugging Face
NVIDIA launched this OpenUSD simulation-ready asset library with Hugging Face on 2026-10-21: robot arms, grippers, warehouse and cooling equipment, free and ungated.
At a glance
- Readiness
- L2 · Semantic & material ready
- Rationale
- Assets are validated against SimReady profiles and usually carry collision geometry, mass and friction; joint structure and semantic labels vary by OEM, so the common tier is L2 rather than L3.
- Scale
- 2,000+ assets (3,599 items in the live interface) (The announcement says 2,000+ assets; the live interface lists 3,599 items across Industrial 1,214 / OEM 1,063 / Residential 1,019 / Hospital 256 / Lighting 47 (checked 2026-10-24).)
- License
- Mixed (check per asset) — The library itself is ungated, but each asset ships in its OEM-owned Hugging Face dataset under that owner terms — check every asset before commercial use.

Why it is listed
SimReady Central is the reference library for the SimReady specification: OpenUSD assets that already carry the physics properties a simulator needs.
Readiness assessment
Assets are contributed by OEMs (Vertiv, Comau, FANUC, Franka Robotics, Robotiq, Standard Bots, Universal Robots, Palatial, LG Electronics, ForgeCAD), each hosting its own Hugging Face dataset; NVIDIA reviews submissions through the NVIDIA-Omniverse/simready-central repository (Apache-2.0).
Practical notes
Discovery runs through NVIDIA USD Search, which is wired into Hugging Face platform search with indexed USD properties and simulation metadata, so both humans and agents can query assets in natural language.
