“AI is the most powerful technology force of our time,” said Jensen Huang.
“Its first phase will enable new levels of software automation that boost productivity in many industries. Next, AI, in combination with sensors and actuators, will be the brain of a new generation of autonomous machines. Someday, there will be billions of intelligent machines in manufacturing, home delivery, warehouse logistics and much more.”

Jetson Xavier

At the heart of NVIDIA Isaac is Jetson™ Xavier™, the world’s first computer designed specifically for robotics.

With more than 9 billion transistors, it delivers over 30 TOPS (trillion operations per second) — more processing capability than a powerful workstation while using a third the energy of a lightbulb.

Jetson Xavier has six kinds of high-performance processors — a Volta Tensor Core GPU, an eight-core ARM64 CPU, dual NVDLA deep learning accelerators, an image processor, a vision processor and a video processor.

These enable dozens of algorithms to be processed concurrently and in real time for sensor processing, odometry, localization and mapping, vision and perception, and path planning.

This level of performance is essential for a robot to take input from sensors, locate itself, perceive its environment, recognize and predict motion of nearby objects, reason about what action to perform and articulate itself safely.

Isaac Robotics Software

NVIDIA provides a toolbox for the simulation, training, verification and deployment of Jetson Xavier.

This robotics software consists of:

• Isaac SDK – a collection of APIs and tools to develop robotics algorithm software and runtime framework with fully accelerated libraries.

• Isaac IMX – Isaac Intelligent Machine Acceleration applications, a collection of NVIDIA-developed robotics algorithm software.

• Isaac Sim – a highly realistic virtual simulation environment for developers to train autonomous machines and perform hardware-in-the-loop testing with Jetson Xavier.

Changing What’s Possible for Variety of Industries

With this level of AI computing power at the edge, autonomous machines can perceive the world around them with superhuman capabilities, detecting and recognizing their surroundings from sensors of all kinds.

Manufacturing robots can work safely alongside humans and adapt to changes.

Logistics robots can efficiently move and manage inventory and deliver products to homes.

Service robots can improve the retail experience and assist the sick and elderly.


The NVIDIA Isaac Software Development Kit (SDK) gives you a comprehensive set of frameworks, tools, APIs, and libraries to accelerate development of robotics algorithms and software. The runtime framework is tightly integrated with Isaac Sim and designed for developing production-quality, AI-enabled solutions optimized for deployment on NVIDIA Jetson. Photo courtesy of NVIDIA

Availability

The NVIDIA Jetson Xavier developer kit, which includes the Isaac robotics software, will be priced at $1,299, with early access starting in August from distributors worldwide.


Isaac Intelligent Machine Acceleration (IMX) applications, are a collection of NVIDIA-developed robotics algorithm software. They’re ideal for solving common challenges in developing solutions for perception, navigation, manipulation, and control. These turnkey applications are compatible with the Isaac SDK and Isaac Sim and can save months of development time and effort. Photo courtesy of NVIDIA

Isaac Sim lets developers train and test their robot software using highly realistic virtual simulation environments.
Engineering iterations and testing can be done in minutes - tasks that would otherwise take months to perform.
And because the system is completely virtual, there’s no risk of damage or injury.
Isaac Sim is fully integrated with the Isaac SDK, which enables hardware-in-the-loop testing with NVIDIA Jetson.

About NVIDIA

NVIDIA‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing.

More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.
