For robotics workflows, SimReady means an OpenUSD asset has been prepared with the properties needed for a defined simulation use case, such as collisions, mass, joints, and joint drives. SimReady Central, an open asset library on Hugging Face, lets you reuse robot and object assets with authored simulation properties and profile-validation evidence. For more about the library and its launch, read the announcement blog.
