We are celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Isaac ROS with DP 1.1 Release which includes feature updates, bug fixes, and migration to the general availability release of Jetpack 5.0.2.

[Isaac ROS](http://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS) update is available now at [github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS](http://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS) and is part of our commitment to provide features and hardware acceleration for autonomous robots.

This release includes packages for AI perception, image processing, navigation and adds:

- Simplified nvblox interface class rgbdmapper with mesh welding to reduce footprint in RVIS, addition of 3D LIDAR for fusion with camera depth, and serialization to file save & load over a ROS service
- [Type adaptation](https://ros.org/reps/rep-2007.html) for DetectNet DNN models with significantly improved performance by 14x _(104fps on Jetson Orin at 544p)_.
- New proximity detection DNN model for improvements to freespace prediction and dynamic proximity fields which can be changed at run-time based robot mode, maneuver, or velocity
- Image flip for cameras physically mounted 180° due to mechanical design
- [ROS2 Humble + Nav2 container](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/isaac/containers/ros) saving \>8hrs of compile time for Jetson and x86 + GPU including scanning against [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/) to fix security vulnerabilities in the container.
- Bug fixes

Clone the repositories you need into your ROS workspace to build from source with colcon alongside your other ROS2 packages and leverage the pre-built [ROS2 Humble & Nav2 container](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/isaac/containers/ros). Please note that this release has been tested on the NVIDIA Jetson [AGX Orin](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/) & Xavier with [JetPack](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack)5.0.2 (Ubuntu 20.04).

The next release will be in Oct at ROSCon Kyoto.

Great work Gordon and team. Always knew you could do it 🙂

How is going:
