Isaac ROS
Isaac ROS is a collection of GPU-accelerated computing packages and AI models built on ROS 2 that speed up development of AI robotics applications. It gives developers ready-to-use tools for perception, localization and mapping, manipulation, and navigation, runs on both workstations and embedded systems, and integrates with existing ROS 2 nodes so teams can bring GPU-level performance to real-time robotics workloads like object detection, SLAM, pose estimation, and motion planning without building acceleration from scratch.
