Build skills around a project that matters.

Business leaders, engineers, AI specialists, and domain experts learn together on one capstone your organization chooses. UME.Studio builds a custom curriculum around your objectives, and the team presents a working proof-of-concept to your leadership.

A cross-functional team working through a problem together

For learning and workforce leaders

Capability your organization can see and use.

Attendance shows who took part. The capstone shows what the team can do. Adoption is the work continuing after the program.

  • Cross-functional by design

    Business, engineering, AI, and operations roles learn together, so a project's business and technical sides share one understanding.

  • Tied to a real challenge

    Learning happens on a capstone from your own operation, not a generic exercise.

  • Assessed, not only attended

    The team's starting point is assessed during scoping, the capstone is evaluated against agreed success criteria, and instructors see every workstation during sessions.

  • Work that continues

    After the program, you decide whether the team keeps its workspaces, Replay, and the agent's knowledge, so the project can move forward.

Four roles, one capstone

Who takes part, and what each role contributes.

Each person goes as deep as their part of the project needs. Not every role writes code.

  • Business leader

    Chooses the opportunity and sets the goals

    Identifies where physical AI can create value, in your own operation or for your customers. Defines the business objectives and leads the capstone's goals and success criteria.

  • Engineer / developer

    Builds what the team tests

    Builds and integrates the simulations, applications, and digital twins the team needs to test the solution.

  • AI / data specialist

    Develops and evaluates the models

    Develops and evaluates perception, prediction, or automation models, using relevant data and simulation outputs.

  • Domain / operations specialist

    Keeps the solution grounded

    Brings operational requirements and real-world constraints, and judges whether the proposed solution would work in practice.

Learning approach

Live instruction, guided practice, and help when someone is stuck.

  • Live instruction and guided exercises

    Instructors teach live in the tools the capstone uses, then guide exercises in browser workstations, seeing every workspace and stepping in where needed.

  • Catch-up with Replay

    Ask the UME agent what you missed and return to that moment.

  • Expert office hours

    Weekly office hours with UME.Studio experts while the team builds the capstone.

  • Responsible by design

    Risk, ethics, and data security are covered alongside the technology.

Program stages

What happens before, during, and after the program

  1. Scoping

    Define the opportunity

    Your business leader identifies the opportunity and, with UME.Studio, sets the capstone's business objectives and success criteria.

    Outcome

    Capstone goals and success criteria agreed

  2. Before day one

    Prepare curriculum and environment

    We build a custom curriculum around your objectives, and prepare a workstation for every participant with the software the program uses.

    Outcome

    A custom curriculum, workstations ready

  3. Hands-on, multi-day

    Learn by doing

    Live instruction and guided exercises in digital twins, simulation, synthetic data, and optimization, at the depth each role needs.

    Outcome

    Shared fluency across every role

  4. 3–6 weeks

    Build the capstone

    The team builds a proof-of-concept on the opportunity its business leader chose, with instructors supporting them and weekly expert office hours.

    Outcome

    A working proof-of-concept

  5. Capstone review

    Evaluate and plan next steps

    The team measures the result against the success criteria and presents it to your leadership. The capstone is the first step of a project, not a graduation exercise.

    Outcome

    A recommendation your leadership can act on

What teams build

Examples of what a capstone can produce

The curriculum follows your objectives and the tools you use. Most programs draw on these four areas.

  • NVIDIA OmniverseOpenUSD

    Digital twins

    A physically accurate twin of a line, cell, or facility, ready to test changes before making them.

  • NVIDIA Isaac SimIsaac Lab

    Robotics and automation

    A robot, vehicle, or machine trained and tested in simulation before it touches hardware.

  • Synthetic data

    Vision models

    A perception model for inspection or tracking, trained with synthetic data from the simulation.

  • NVIDIA cuOpt

    Optimization

    A route, schedule, or resource plan, compared against the way the work is planned today.
