NVIDIA Isaac ROS 4.1 for Thor is now live.

NVIDIA Isaac ROS 4.1 is now available. This open-source collection of accelerated ROS 2 packages and reference applications adds more flexibility for building and deploying on Jetson AGX Thor.

This release introduces a Docker-optional development and deployment workflow, with new Virtual Environment and Bare Metal modes that make it easier to integrate Isaac ROS packages into your existing setup.

We’ve also made several key updates across the stack. Isaac ROS Nvblox now supports improved dynamics with LiDAR and motion compensation, and Isaac ROS Visual SLAM adds support for RGB-D cameras. There’s a new 3D-printable multi-camera rig for mounting RealSense cameras directly to Jetson AGX Thor, along with canonical URDF poses to get you started quickly.

On the sim-to-real side, a new gear assembly tutorial walks through training a reach policy in simulation and deploying it to a UR10e arm. And for data movement, you can now send and receive point clouds using the CUDA with NITROS API.

Check out the full details here and let us know what you build with 4.1
