As industrial automation accelerates, factories are increasingly relying on advanced robotics to boost productivity and operational resilience. The successful deployment of robots depends on capabilities like precise motion planning, accurate spatial perception, and robust obstacle avoidance. AI-enabled robotics and software-defined automation help make factories more autonomous, scalable…
]]>Robots must perceive and interpret their 3D environments to act safely and effectively. This is especially critical for tasks such as autonomous navigation, object manipulation, and teleoperation in unstructured or unfamiliar spaces. Advances in robotic perception increasingly focus on integrating 3D scene understanding, generalizable object tracking, and persistent spatial memory—using robust…
]]>Robots are typically equipped with cameras. When designing a digital twin simulation, it’s important to replicate its performance in a simulated environment accurately. However, to make sure the simulation runs smoothly, it’s crucial to check the performance of the workstation that is running the simulation. In this blog post, we explore the steps to setting up and running a camera benchmark…
]]>The Husky robot, developed by Clearpath Robotics, is a versatile four-wheeled platform made for indoor and outdoor research use. It is simple to modify by adding other sensors and changing the high-level board. This post explains how to use the official ROS 2 Husky packages to import the robot into NVIDIA Isaac Sim and create a simulation. For this demo, the Husky robot is equipped with an…
]]>Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is a powerful tool used to validate and verify the performance of complex systems, including robotics and computer vision. This post explores how HIL testing is being used in these fields with the NVIDIA Isaac platform. The NVIDIA Isaac platform consists of NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a simulator that provides a simulated environment for testing robotics algorithms…
]]>NVIDIA Isaac GEMs for ROS provides a set of GPU-accelerated packages for your ROS2 application, improving throughput on image processing and DNN-based perception models. These ROS2 packages are built from ROS2 Foxy, the first Long Stable Release (LTS) to come out of the robotics community. This post investigates how you can accelerate your robot’s deployment by implementing NVIDIA Isaac ROS…
