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 with NVIDIA cuMotion

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 tracing

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 with FoudnationsStereo

Depth Estimation

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

Object Detection with SyntheticDETR

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
