About Nvidia Isaac

Founded in 2018 as part of Nvidia, Isaac Robotics provides a full-stack platform—including simulation (Isaac Sim), AI models (FoundationPose, SyntheticaDETR), and CUDA-accelerated libraries—for developing autonomous mobile robots, manipulation systems, and humanoids. Key differentiators include physically-based simulation via the Omniverse platform and accelerated computing via DGX, OVX, and AGX systems. Isaac ROS integrates with the open-source ROS 2 framework, streamlining development; Nvidia positions Isaac as enabling faster training & deployment of robotics AI, serving developers & researchers. Recent focus is on foundation models for perception & mobility (COMPASS) and tools like nvblox for 3D reconstruction.
