Wandelbots at NVIDIA GTC Paris part of Viva Tech, Europe’s Biggest Startup and Tech Event

11-12 June 2025 Paris, France

NVIDIA GTC Paris brought together the companies and technologies that are driving the next era of industrial automation and making it real today.

The event showcased valuable technical exchange around software-defined manufacturing, efficient robot deployment, and scalable systems.

At the center was a shared commitment to usability, made possible with intuitive robot operating systems and control platforms, from Wandelbots, designed to empower teams and enable intelligent industrial automation.

Technical Sessions

How Physical AI Is Supercharging Robotics Automation at Volkswagen and in the Industrial Ecosystem

• Christian Piechnick, CEO & Cofounder, Wandelbots

• Paul Weiß, Mechanical Engineer, Wandelbots

• Pavel Zakharov, Senior Director of AI Labs, Grid Dynamics

• Lars Beier, Staff Software Engineer, Wandelbots

Discover how Wandelbots, an NVIDIA Inception member, is transforming industrial manufacturing and automation by addressing key challenges with a simulation-first approach. Wandelbots will demonstrate how they solved some of Volkswagen’s key manufacturing challenges, bringing significant cost and time savings to production lines. This session will cover the Wandelbots NOVA platform—a hardware-agnostic operating system that enables developers, system integrators, and automation engineers to build intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for physics-based digital robot training. NOVA seamlessly integrates with NVIDIA Isaac Sim™, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse™, delivering high-fidelity, physics-accurate simulations through Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) workflows. Join us to discover how Wandelbots is making intelligent, flexible automation accessible to all.

Join leaders from ABB, KION, NEURA Robotics, Wandelbots, and Universal Robots as they discuss how physical AI is making robots more intuitive and effective across industries—and its potential to drive the next frontier of industrial transformation.

Collaboration

From Simulation to Scale: Wandelbots, Schaeffler, and NVIDIA Redefine Industrial Robotics

At GTC Paris, Wandelbots unveiled the next chapter in its collaboration with Schaeffler and NVIDIA showcasing how simulation-driven development can be deployed at scale using real-time digital twins and robot-agnostic execution.

With Wandelbots NOVA integrated into NVIDIA Omniverse, Schaeffler engineers can now design and validate complex robotic workflows virtually, then deploy them to physical robots without reprogramming. What was once considered non-automatable is now running autonomously, in production-ready form. This breakthrough demonstrates a new model for intelligent automation: Plan virtually. Execute physically. Improve continuously.

Explore how this collaboration is defining the future of scalable, software-defined manufacturing.
