]]>Robotics simulation enables virtual training and programming that can use physics-based digital representations of environments, robots, machines, objects, and other assets.
]]>NVIDIA announces the availability of the 2022.2 release of NVIDIA Isaac Sim. As a robotics simulation and synthetic data generation (SDG) tool, this NVIDIA Omniverse application accelerates the development, testing, training, and deployment of intelligent robots. With NVIDIA Isaac Sim, you can easily import the robot model of your choice. Use it to build realistic environments for validating…
]]>At ROSCon 2022, NVIDIA announced the newest Isaac ROS software release, Developer Preview (DP) 2. This release includes new cloud– and edge-to-robot task management and monitoring software for autonomous mobile robot (AMR) fleets, as well as additional features for ROS 2 developers. “NVIDIA continues to show a strong commitment to the ROS developer community with its consistent Isaac ROS…
]]>Today, NVIDIA announced the availability of the 2022.1 release of NVIDIA Isaac Sim. As a robotics simulation and synthetic data generation (SDG) tool, this NVIDIA Omniverse application accelerates the development, testing, and training of AI in robotics. With Isaac Sim, developers can generate production quality datasets to train AI-perception models. Developers will also be able to simulate…
]]>Working in collaboration since October 2021, NVIDIA and Open Robotics are introducing two important changes, now available in the Humble ROS 2 release for improved performance on compute platforms that offer hardware accelerators. The new ROS 2 Humble hardware-acceleration features are called type adaptation and type negotiation. NVIDIA will release a software package-implementing type…
]]>AI pioneer Andrew Ng is calling for a broad shift to a more data-centric approach to machine learning (ML). He recently held the first data-centric AI competition on data quality, which many claim represents 80% of the work in AI. “I’m optimistic that the AI community before long will take as much interest in systematically improving data as architecting models,” Ng wrote in his newsletter…
]]>Perceiving and understanding the surrounding world is a critical challenge for autonomous robots. In conjunction with ROS World 2021, NVIDIA announced its latest efforts to deliver performant perception technologies to the ROS developer community. These initiatives will accelerate product development, improve product performance, and ultimately simplify the task of incorporating cutting-edge…
]]>Deploying an autonomous robot to a new environment can be a tough proposition. How can you gain confidence that the robot’s perception capabilities are robust enough, so it performs safely and as planned? Trimble faced this challenge when it started building plans to deploy Boston Dynamics’ Spot in a variety of indoor settings and construction environments. Trimble needed to tune the machine…
]]>All things that move will become autonomous. And all things autonomous will require advanced real-time perception. NVIDIA announced its latest initiatives to deliver a suite of perception technologies to the ROS developer community. These initiatives will reduce development time and improve performance for developers seeking to incorporate cutting-edge computer vision and AI/
]]>The new Isaac simulation engine not only creates better photorealistic environments, but also streamlines synthetic data generation and domain randomization to build ground-truth datasets to train robots in applications from logistics and warehouses to factories of the future. NVIDIA Omniverse is the underlying foundation for NVIDIA’s simulators, including the Isaac platform — which now…
