Abstract
The capabilities of robots are rapidly advancing, becoming smarter, faster, and more efficient. However, creating a sophisticated “robot brain” transcends mere computational power. It necessitates open platforms that integrate simulation, training, and deployment seamlessly. This session delves into the pivotal role of open source in accelerating the development of intelligent robotics. We will explore various stages, from digital twin training in NVIDIA Cosmos to AI-driven autonomy with Isaac and deployment on the cutting-edge Jetson Thor, all powered by Ubuntu. Our discussion will highlight how this comprehensive stack enables developers to train with limitless synthetic data, optimize using open frameworks, and deploy at scale on high-performance edge systems. Attendees will gain insights into how openness propels robotics innovation and the transformative collaboration between Ubuntu and NVIDIA in shaping the future of autonomous machines.
