Robotics developers and industrial automation teams requiring a tool to build, test, and scale intelligent robotic applications with ready-to-use open source capabilities
About Intrinsic Core
Intrinsic Core is an open source robotics platform that makes it easier and faster to build and run robotics applications from prototype to production. It provides ready-to-use capabilities for sensor-based control, perception, motion planning, grasp planning, simulation, and other core robotics functions, so developers do not need to build an entire stack from scratch. It uses a pre-configured software environment with integrated services and capabilities, including simulation tools, a digital twin, and a hardware-agnostic real-time control framework for complex integrations. Intrinsic Core is compatible with ROS and the Open Robotics Suite, combining standard workspaces, message definitions, Gazebo simulation, and ready-to-use ROS-compatible services. Its capabilities include accurate 3D object pose detection with NVIDIA FoundationPose, force-controlled insertion and manipulation using real sensor feedback, automated collision-free trajectory planning, and more.

NVIDIA Isaac Sim
NVIDIA Isaac Sim is an open source reference robotics simulation application built on NVIDIA Omniverse, enabling developers to design, simulate, test, and train AI-driven robots in physically realistic virtual environments. It is built atop Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD), offering full extensibility so developers can create custom simulators or seamlessly integrate Isaac Sim's capabilities into existing validation pipelines. The platform supports three essential workflows; large-scale synthetic data generation for training foundation models with photorealistic rendering and automatic ground truth labeling; software-in-the-loop testing, which connects actual robot software with simulated hardware to validate control and perception systems; and robot learning through NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab, which accelerates training of behaviors in simulation before real-world deployment. Isaac Sim delivers GPU-accelerated physics (via NVIDIA PhysX) and RTX-enabled sensor simulation.
