Attention
As of June 30, 2025, the Isaac ROS Buildfarm for Isaac ROS 2.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal is no longer supported.
Due to an isolated infrastructure event, all ROS 2 Humble Debian packages that were previously built for Ubuntu 20.04 are no longer available in the Isaac Apt Repository. All artifacts for Isaac ROS 3.0 and later are built and maintained with a more robust pipeline.
Users are encouraged to migrate to the latest version of Isaac ROS. The source code for Isaac ROS 2.1
continues to be available on the release-2.1
branches of the Isaac ROS
GitHub repositories.
The original documentation for Isaac ROS 2.1 is preserved below.
Tutorial to Run NITROS-Accelerated Graph with Argus Camera
If you have an Argus-compatible camera, you can also use the launch file provided in this package to start a fully NITROS-accelerated AprilTag graph.
To start the graph, follow the steps below:
Follow the Isaac ROS AprilTag Quickstart section up to step 2.
Launch the Docker container using the
run_dev.sh
script:cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common && \ ./scripts/run_dev.sh
Inside the container, install the
isaac_ros_argus_camera
package.sudo apt-get install -y ros-humble-isaac-ros-argus-camera
Run the following launch files to start the graph:
ros2 launch isaac_ros_apriltag isaac_ros_argus_apriltag_pipeline.launch.py
Open a second terminal inside the docker container:
cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common && \ ./scripts/run_dev.sh
Observe the AprilTag detection output
/tag_detections
on a separate terminal with the command:ros2 topic echo /tag_detections
