NVIDIA Cosmos3-H-Dreams: Bringing Clinical Surgery to Life Through Generative Simulation

Our first Cosmos-H-Dreams release, built on Cosmos-Predict2.5, brought interactive generative simulation to dVRK tabletop suturing, a foundational proving ground for surgical robotics.

Key points

  • As world foundation model (WFM), Cosmos-H-Dreams demonstrated an alternative to numerical simulation: rather than explicitly modeling scene geometry, tissue deformation, and physical interactions, it learned visual dynamics directly from synchronized video and robot kinematics, yielding interactive tabletop task simulation with high realism.
  • Today, Cosmos3-H-Dreams advances this capability by learning from video and robot kinematics recording during clinical procedures on the CMR Surgical Versius platform.
  • Cosmos3-H-Dreams builds on Cosmos3-H-Embodied-Nano, a 16-billion-parameter model pretrained on Open-H-Embodiment, and specializes a bidirectional teacher on curated cholecystectomy video and kinematics.
  • nvidia published the model Cosmos3-H-Embodied-Nano on Hugging Face.
