NVIDIA Isaac
Ready to jump start your AI robot development? NVIDIA Isaac™ is the ideal place to start. This open robotics development platform consists of simulation and robot learning frameworks, NVIDIA® CUDA®-accelerated libraries, AI models, and reference workflows to create autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robot arms, manipulators, and humanoids.
NVIDIA Isaac Libraries and AI Models
NVIDIA robotics full-stack CUDA-acceleration libraries and optimized AI models give you a better, more efficient way to develop, train, simulate, deploy, operate, and optimize robot systems.
NVIDIA Isaac for Manipulation

Motion Planning
NVIDIA cuMotion is an NVIDIA CUDA-accelerated library that helps solve robot motion planning problems at scale by running multiple trajectory optimizations simultaneously to return the best solution.

Pose Estimation and Tracking
FoundationPose is a foundation model for 6D pose estimation and tracking of novel objects. It tracks and estimates the pose of unseen objects and can handle challenging object properties (textureless, glossy, tiny) and scenes with fast motion or severe occlusions.

Depth Estimation
FoundationStereo is a foundation model designed to achieve strong zero-shot generalization for stereo matching.

Object Detection
SyntheticaDETR is a pretrained model for object detection in indoor environments. It can be used as a front end to pose estimators like FoundationPose, so it can localize objects using 2D bounding boxes before pose estimation.
NVIDIA Isaac for Mobility

Real-Time 3D Occupancy Grid
Enable robots to identify obstacles in 3D spaces up to five meters away and generate a 2D costmap using the NVIDIA nvblox CUDA-accelerated 3D reconstruction library. Get results 100x faster than with CPU-centric methods.

Accelerated Stereo Visual Odometry and SLAM
Accelerated Stereo Visual Odometry and SLAM
Get sub-1% trajectory errors for real-time, CUDA-accelerated visual SLAM across diverse sensors and platforms using NVIDIA cuVSLAM.
Seamlessly navigate environments with sparse visual features or repetitive patterns by fusing input from multiple viewpoints. Get started with pycuVSLAM.

Generalizable End-to-End Mobility
Train vision-based mobility foundation models using NVIDIA COMPASS, enabling navigation across robot types and changing environments.
The workflow includes synthetic data generation with NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ and Cosmos™ Transfer, model training and post-training in Isaac Lab, and deployment with NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ or Thor™.
