NVIDIA Isaac

The Accelerated Platform for
Robotics and AI

Accelerating and enhancing robotics—from development to simulation to deployment.

From smart automation in manufacturing to last-mile delivery, robots are becoming more ubiquitous in everyday life. However, industrial and commercial robotics development can be complex, time consuming, immensely challenging, and expensive. Unstructured environments across many use cases and scenarios are also common. The NVIDIA Isaac™ robotics platform addresses these challenges with an end-to-end solution to help decrease costs, simplify development, and accelerate time to market.

Isaac Sim now on Omniverse Cloud

Isaac Sim on the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform brings unprecedented levels of collaboration, scalability, and convenience to make testing and training of virtual robots more accessible. It will be available on the newly announced NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud, a suite of services that enables developers to design and use metaverse applications from anywhere. Isaac Sim is available as well on AWS RoboMaker, a cloud-based simulation service for robotics development and testing. Developers can also download Isaac Sim from NVIDIA NGC™ and deploy it to any public cloud.

Introducing the Isaac AMR Platform

The new Isaac for AMR platform

The Isaac for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) platform extends NVIDIA Isaac capabilities for developers building and deploying robotics applications by bringing mapping, site analytics, and fleet and route optimization onto NVIDIA EGX™ servers. The new platform enhances and accelerates AMR applications for the logistics industry in applications ranging from warehouses to retail. It provides all the capabilities of NVIDIA GPU-accelerated AI technologies, including Metropolis, ReOpt, DeepMap, and more on the NVIDIA AI and Omniverse platforms. The recently announced Isaac Nova Orin reference design based on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin will also be available in Q2 to accelerate development even further.

Omniverse Replicator for Isaac Sim

NVIDIA Isaac Sim provides developers with a data cockpit to synthetically generate datasets for machine learning models from easy-to-understand parameters. Powered by Omniverse Replicator, Isaac Sim generates synthetic data that can be used to train deep neural networks running on an AMR. This helps developers build and deploy AI-enabled robots that operate safely and avoid common mishaps, such as in factories when robots collide with forklift tines.

Isaac Sim Synthetic Data Generation

Data Generation

Gathering and labeling datasets is time consuming and prohibitively expensive. More diverse training data makes for more accurate AI models. Enhance training with synthetic data using NVIDIA Isaac Sim.

NVIDIA Isaac Sim Omiverse

Simulate and Test

Robots are virtually trained and tested in photorealistic and physically accurate environments using NVIDIA Isaac Sim operating in the NVIDIA Omniverse virtual environment.

NVIDIA TAO Toolkit

Train Your Robot

Choose the optimal NVIDIA platform to train your AI model—from local workstations to AI at scale in the data center and the cloud.

NVIDIA also can help speed up development with the NVIDIA TAO Toolkit that includes production-quality, pretrained models to use as-is or for fine-tuning with only a fraction of the data needed as training from scratch.

Isaac ROS GEMs

Develop Applications

High-performance robotics applications can be developed using hardware-accelerated SDKs such as Isaac ROS GEMs for ROS-based robots, the NVIDIA DeepStream SDK for streaming video understanding, NVIDIA Riva for natural language processing, and the Isaac SDK for a complete framework.

NVIDIA EGX Fleet Command

Deploy and Manage

Only NVIDIA offers a complete end-to-end workflow to enable seamless deployment. Robotics applications can be ported onto NVIDIA edge devices from NVIDIA Jetson to EGX edge computers to create truly autonomous machines. Scaling services across distributed edge cases are also available on EGX Fleet Command.
