Isaac Sim Ros 2 Bridge through VM

Hi all,

I’m new to Isaac Sim and am trying to get the system setup so I can bridge it to ROS2 / live robots. My issue is the only computer with enough processing power is a Windows OS. I’ve created a ROS2/Foxy VM but it can’t install Isaac Sim directly as I can’t get a GPU passthrough.

So is there anyway for me to run Isaac Sim on my Windows OS and bridge through a local VM? I’m not quite ready to setup a dual boot on this computer.

If there are alternative ways to do this, I am all ears. (For example, setup the Windows OS as a host and the VM accessing it via a container… although I don’t think that would work either).

Thanks all!

Hi - Apologies for the late response. Are you still having any issues with the latest Isaac Sim 2022.2.1 release?

Please try Isaac Sim 2022.2.1. You can run Isaac Sim and ROS 2 on Windows. See 6. ROS & ROS 2 Installation — Omniverse Robotics documentation
