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.

isaac_ros_image_pipeline

Source code on GitHub.

Replacing image_pipeline with isaac_ros_image_pipeline

  1. Add a dependency on isaac_ros_image_pipeline to your_package/package.xml and your_package/CMakeLists.txt. If all desired packages under an existing image_pipeline dependency have Isaac ROS alternatives (see Supported Packages), then the original image_pipeline dependency may be removed entirely.

  2. Change the package and plugin names in any *.launch.py launch files to use [package name] and nvidia::isaac_ros::image_proc::[component_name] respectively. For a list of all packages, see Supported Packages. For a list of all ROS 2 Components made available, see the per-package detailed documentation below.
