NVIDIA Isaac™ Manipulator, built on Isaac ROS, is a collection of NVIDIA® CUDA®-accelerated libraries, AI models, and reference workflows. It’s designed to help robotics software developers build AI-enabled robot arms—or manipulators—that can perceive, understand, and interact with their environments. This gives you a powerful tool for accelerating solutions for dynamic challenges such as machine tending, bin picking, inspection, and assembly tasks. You can integrate any of the Isaac Manipulator libraries or foundation models into your software stacks, bringing accelerated performance and accuracy to your own platforms.
