Get isaac_ros_object_detection working on Foxy #7

Closed Interpause closed 8 months ago

Interpause commented 8 months ago

https://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS/isaac_ros_object_detection

Nvidia's ROS2 Node for Object Detection, probably useful for the visual identification subtask of SAUVC. Try and get it to work on Foxy to evaluate:

  1. Is Nvidia ISAAC good or should we DIY/find something else?
  2. Can Nvidia ISAAC's ecosystem be used on Foxy & how difficult is it?
  3. If Nvidia ISAAC doesn't work on Foxy, is it worth migrating to Humble or finding smth else?

  1. Nvidia ISAAC is quite good: PyTorch pre-installed, useful nodes for 3D reconstruction & mapping.
  2. Cannot be used on Foxy without significant modifications.
  3. Migration is worth given most packages are available on Humble now and Nvidia recommends and supports ISAAC ROS for Nvidia Jetson.
