Abstract


Isaac SDK and Sim tools produced by NVIDIA have great potential in assisting, accelerating and even enabling, in some cases, the development of robotic applications that make use of some sort of artificial intelligence technique. This tutorial intends to show to its audience a quick theoretical background, the whole setting up process of such tools, how to integrate it to a powerful embedded system, the Jetson Nano, and a number of examples of current applications together with a good portion of possibilities enabled by those tools.

Keywords: Robotics, AI, Isaac SDK, Isaac Sim, Jetson Nano.
