NVIDIA announced that leading global robotics developers are adopting the NVIDIA Isaac™ robotics platform for the research, development, and production of AI-enabled autonomous machines. Companies such as BYD Electronics, Siemens, Teradyne Robotics, and Intrinsic are integrating NVIDIA Isaac's accelerated libraries, physically based simulation, and AI models into their software frameworks to enhance efficiency and safety in factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated: "The era of robotics has arrived. Everything that moves will one day be autonomous." He emphasized the company's efforts to advance generative physical AI through its robotics stack, including Omniverse for simulation applications and Project GR00T humanoid foundation models.

The Isaac platform includes a suite of NVIDIA-accelerated libraries, AI foundation models, and simulation technologies available for integration by robot makers. Specific components include:

- **NVIDIA Isaac ROS**: A collection of modular ROS 2 packages bringing NVIDIA acceleration and AI models to ROS community developers.

- **NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor**: Provides multi-camera 3D surround-vision capabilities for autonomous mobile robots.

- **NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator**: Simplifies the development of AI-enabled robot arms.

- **NVIDIA Isaac Sim™**: For simulating and validating robots in physically based environments.

- **NVIDIA Isaac Lab**: Optimized for reinforcement learning for AI robot foundation model training.

Siemens is using NVIDIA Isaac Sim to accelerate the development of advanced robotic skills like SIMATIC Robot PickAI (PRO) without prior user training. Roland Busch, president and CEO at Siemens AG said: “Together with NVIDIA...we can unlock human potential for more creative work.”

Intrinsic has tested Isaac Manipulator in its robot-agnostic software platform. Wendy Tan White, CEO of Intrinsic commented on their collaboration with NVIDIA saying it could have a "profound impact on industrial robotics."

BYD Electronics is developing autonomous mobile robots using NVIDIA technology. Chris Yotive from BYD Electronics highlighted their focus on improving worker safety and reducing production costs through these developments.

Teradyne Robotics companies Universal Robots (UR) and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) are integrating various components of the NVIDIA Isaac platform into their automation solutions. Ujjwal Kumar from Teradyne Robotics emphasized industry collaboration as key to innovation in robotics.

The modular nature of the NVIDIA Isaac platform allows companies to adopt individual or several technologies together. Over 100 companies globally are leveraging various components like Isaac Sim for simulating robotic applications or specific workflows like Perceptor or Manipulator.

During his COMPUTEX keynote address, Jensen Huang demonstrated multiple use cases across transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors involving fleets of AI robots developed using the NVIDIA robotics stack within simulated environments created by partners such as Foxconn.
