Head of Business Development,

FS Studio

Writes Virtually Human / 20+ years in digital media

ABOUT

Bobby Carlton leads business development at FS Studio, where he works with robotics, autonomy, and manufacturing teams to figure out what they actually need from simulation before a single asset gets built. His view is that the next chapter of immersive technology is not a headset. It is the physical world learning to think.That work sits at the point where robots, digital twins, and synthetic data stop being separate disciplines and become one: teaching machines to understand and act in real environments. He spends his time on the practical end of it, translating between the engineers building high-fidelity simulation and the operators who have to justify it on a plant floor, in a warehouse, or across a fleet.On the FS Studio blog he writes DigiTalk, a running look at how Physical AI is being built right now. The posts cover embodied reasoning, teleoperation data, humanoid reliability, sim-to-real transfer, and the tooling underneath it, including NVIDIA Omniverse, MuJoCo, and OpenUSD. No hype, no roadmap fan fiction, just what changed and what it means for teams shipping real systems.Bobby is based in Saratoga Springs, New York, and studied at the State University of New York at Albany.


WHAT HE COVERS
01
Simulation and digital twins
High-fidelity environments for testing and iteration where real-world trials are slow, costly, or unsafe.
02
Synthetic data
Structured, controllable image, video, and animation data used to train and stress perception models.
03
Robotics and autonomy
Teleoperation, humanoid reliability, embodied reasoning, and what it takes to move from demo to deployment.
04
Physical AI tooling
NVIDIA Omniverse, MuJoCo, OpenUSD, and the pipelines that connect them to production workflows.
