Holoscan
Holoscan is Nvidia's software for handling live streams of sensor data, such as many cameras and depth sensors at once, and getting that data to the robot's AI quickly. It comes with Holoscan Sensor Bridge, a small programmable chip design that collects the sensors' data and sends it over a network cable straight to an Nvidia computer, so the main processor does less of the work. Nvidia's new Isaac OS robot software, announced in October 2026, is built on Holoscan.
