Preview

NVIDIA Isaac Sim is a powerful, extensible robotics simulation platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse, leveraging artificial intelligence technologies. It is designed to accelerate the development, testing, and training of robots in realistic virtual environments. Isaac Sim enables the generation of high-quality synthetic data for training AI models, conducting software-in-the-loop testing for robot stacks, and implementing robot reinforcement learning through Isaac Lab. The platform supports realistic physics simulation using NVIDIA PhysX, including rigid and soft-body dynamics, articulations, and collisions. Simulation of various sensor types is available, such as cameras (RGB, depth, segmentation), lidars, radars, and IMUs, with the ability to obtain ground-truth data. Isaac Sim supports the import of various robot models (manipulators, mobile robots, quadruped robots) and integration with the Robot Operating System (ROS and ROS 2), making it compatible with existing workflows in robotics. The platform provides an extensive library of ready-to-use 3D assets (SimReady) for creating detailed scenes. Users can develop custom workflows using Python scripting and tools like Omnigraph and Replicator. Isaac Sim is a key tool for companies developing autonomous systems, allowing scalable testing and reducing time to market.
