• However, in healthcare robotics until now, it's often been too slow, siloed, or difficult to translate into real-world systems.
• NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare, a developer framework for AI healthcare robotics, enables healthcare robotics developers in solving these challenges via offering integrated data collection, training, and evaluation pipelines that work across both simulation and hardware.
• Specifically, the Isaac for Healthcare v0.4 release provides healthcare developers with an end-to-end SO - ARM based starter workflow and the bring your own operating room tutorial .
• The SO-ARM starter workflow lowers the barrier for MedTech developers to experience the full workflow from simulation to train to deployment and start building and validating autonomous on real hardware right away.
• In this post, we'll walk through the starter workflow and its technical implementation details to help you build a surgical assistant robot in less time than ever imaginable before.
