NVIDIA Isaac Platform

NVIDIA's umbrella brand for its full stack of robotics software, models, and tools.

NVIDIA Isaac is NVIDIA's platform brand for robotics development — not a single piece of software but a family of products: Isaac Sim (a simulator), Isaac Lab (a robot learning framework built on Isaac Sim), Isaac ROS (GPU-accelerated perception and planning packages that run on ROS 2), and Isaac GR00T (foundation models and tools for humanoid robots), among others. It ties together the pipeline of training in simulation, generating synthetic data, and deploying to Jetson boards using NVIDIA's own hardware and software, forming the software layer of NVIDIA's “three computers” narrative. When newcomers see a name with the Isaac prefix, the first thing to figure out is whether it's a simulator, a training framework, a ROS package, or a model.

ExampleTrain a quadruped locomotion policy in parallel on GPUs with Isaac Lab, then deploy it on a Jetson Orin using Isaac ROS's perception packages.
