NVBlox 3D mapping runs against the same observable edge stack used for testing and deployment.

This entry is a roadmap scaffold, not a finished demo. Its description records intended scope; the linked repository is the source of truth for current code.

About this demo

GPU-accelerated 3D reconstruction using NVIDIA's Isaac-ROS NVBlox package. Truncated Signed Distance Field for surface reconstruction, Euclidean Signed Distance Field for collision-free planning. Pairs with depth cameras or LiDAR.

Highlights

  • GPU TSDF + ESDF
  • Real-time mesh extraction
  • Nav2 integration
  • Works with RealSense or LiDAR
