NVIDIA Isaac ROS 5.0 Advances Agentic, Open Source Robotics Development
NVIDIA, Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026
NVIDIA released Isaac ROS 5.0, adding agentic workflows and ROS Lyrical/Ubuntu 24.04 support for its GPU-accelerated robotics packages.
NVIDIA released Isaac ROS 5.0 at the ROSCon conference in Toronto, adding new agentic workflows and platform support to its GPU-accelerated packages built on the open-source ROS framework, used by roughly 1.3 million ROS developers.
The release adds support for ROS Lyrical and Ubuntu 24.04, and NVIDIA worked with the Open Source Robotics Alliance to contribute a standard data-handling interface that helps robotics software run efficiently across different hardware, including GPUs.
New Isaac skills for setup and manipulation give developers and AI agents reusable workflows for building robotics applications faster.
