This year’s ROSCon conference in Singapore unites the global robotics developer community around the Robot Operating System (ROS). NVIDIA announces collaborations with partners and OSRA, along with new robotics software to advance open standards and accelerate development. Efforts are focused on making ROS 2 the top framework for real-world robotics. NVIDIA contributes GPU-aware abstractions to ROS 2 for high-speed performance and future-proofing. The company also open-sources Greenwave Monitor for optimizing robot performance and reliability.

NVIDIA introduces NVIDIA Isaac ROS 4.0 on the Jetson Thor platform, offering ROS-compatible, GPU-accelerated libraries and AI models for robot manipulation and mobility. Industry leaders like AgileX Robotics, Canonical, Ekumen Labs, and Intrinsic leverage NVIDIA’s AI, accelerated computing, and open-source technologies. NVIDIA’s contributions empower developers worldwide to train, simulate, and deploy next-gen robots.

At ROSCon, KABAM Robotics showcases Matrix robot using NVIDIA Jetson Orin and Triton Inference Server for advanced security and facility management. Open Navigation demonstrates advanced route navigation for autonomous mobile robots using NVIDIA technologies in collaboration with NVIDIA SWAGGER. Robotec.ai and NVIDIA collaborate on a new ROS simulation standard integrated in Isaac Sim for streamlined development and automated testing.

ROBOTIS utilizes NVIDIA Jetson for on-board computing and Isaac Sim for simulation, delivering greater autonomy and scalable edge AI with the AI Worker powered by the Isaac GR00T N1.5 model. Stereolabs’ ZED cameras and SDK offer full compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson Thor for high-performance multi-camera capture and real-time spatial AI vision. NVIDIA remains committed to providing the open-source community with the tools needed to build the future of physical AI.
