Powering Robotics Solutions Using AI

Mobile Robots

NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor's unmatched precision enables 3D perception for automated material-handling equipment and service robots, letting them operate safely and effectively in dynamic environments. NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ also provides software-in-the-loop development and testing using simulated sensors.

Robotic Manipulation

NVIDIA Isaac Lab, a lightweight app built on top of Isaac Sim, delivers robot learning with integrated physics for complex grasping tasks. Start with pre-trained models and synthetic data from NVIDIA Omniverse™ Replicator for robot training. Define the robot's task, validate its training, and deploy advanced robotic manipulation and grasping with NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator to reduce cycle times for re-training when tracking new objects.

Outdoor Equipment

NVIDIA Jetson™, with its exceptional efficiency, powers autonomous tractors, mowers, and other outdoor equipment by processing onboard sensor data and running real-time AI algorithms on the edge. Developers benefit from hardware-accelerated SDKs like Isaac ROS and the Jetson Generative AI Lab, which offer open-source generative AI models. NVIDIA Isaac Sim tests outdoor scenarios and supports the creation of robot foundational models.

Humanoids & Quadrupeds

For bipedal and quadruped robots, pretrained foundational models like NVIDIA Project GR00T (Generalist Robot 00 Technology) will significantly improve robot capabilities such as perception, control, and decision-making. These models use tools such as Isaac Lab for robot learning and NVIDIA OSMO for cloud workflow orchestration. NVIDIA Metropolis also helps robots survey a work environment for large-scale inspection tasks.
