Connecting Robots to AI Agents with AgenticROS: Questions for Realsense

Cheers! Nvidia Jetson AI Research Lab Community Leader here.

We have Chris Matthieu from RealSense coming on Tuesday morning and we want him to address the most important questions you have.

We want to ensure Chris Matthieu tackles the exact Edge-VLM and spatial AI bottlenecks you care about most. Which of these cutting-edge vision-language-action (VLA) topics should be the headline focus?

1️⃣ **Fusing Geometry & Semantics:**Preserving pixel-level geometric disparity while processing macro-level semantic tokens (Ref: *StereoVLA*, *Not Your Stereo-Typical Estimator*).

2️⃣ **Token Explosion Bottleneck:** Compressing 3D geometric disparity maps into ultra-sparse 1D tokens or event-driven pruning without losing depth accuracy (Ref: *EventPrune*, *Geometry-Guided 3D Visual Token Pruning*).

3️⃣ **Calibration-Agnostic Zero-Shot:** Achieving zero-shot generalization across arbitrary camera configurations and dynamic mounts without re-calibration (Ref: *Lite Any Stereo*).

4️⃣ **Multi-Task Stereo Loss:** Formulating auxiliary co-training tasks/loss like Interaction-Region Depth Estimation (IRDE) to ground models in physical reality.

5️⃣ **Open-Vocabulary 3D Grounding:** Aligning continuous, metric stereo depth with discrete, abstract natural language (Ref: *SENSE*, *InteractVLM*).

If you’re a robotics enthusiast or computer vision engineer who loves tinkering with edge devices, the Jetson AI Research Lab Call is the community space you’ve been looking for.

This is an open, collaborative call where Jetson enthusiasts gather to:

  • Showcase: Share novel projects and real-world applications.
  • Problem-Solve: Break down technical issues and implementation hurdles.
  • Brainstorm: Discuss the future of edge AI, computer vision, and agent deployment.
  • Hire or Be Hired: Whether you are looking to hire or looking to be hired this is the hub from aspiring physical AI or embodied AI start their career journey

Whether you're looking to learn how to get your first agent running on an NVIDIA Jetson or want to show off a complex build, we’d love to have your voice in the conversation.

Agenda for upcoming call:

  • Employers/Employees Opportunities: (Jetson AI Research Lab Discord Maintainer): Kieran Lal) https://discord.gg/pUJKpT2f #open-to-work
  • From ROS to Physical AI: Connecting Robots to AI Agents with AgenticROS (Chris Matthieu, VP of Developer Ecosystem, Realsense) (20 mins)
    • Large language models have changed how software is built. Physical AI is changing how robots are built.

This session demonstrates how AgenticROS connects ROS 2 robots to AI agents such as NemoClaw, OpenClaw, Claude, and Gemini, enabling robots to perceive, reason, and act using natural language instructions. Using RealSense depth cameras as the robot’s visual cortex, we’ll show how multimodal AI can interpret live sensor data and generate robot behaviors ranging from navigation to human-following.

The presentation includes a live demo, architectural walkthrough, and discussion of the emerging Physical AI stack powering the next generation of autonomous robots.

  • Run Open Models and Agentic AI efficiently (Chitoku Yato, Sr. Technical Marketing Engineering Manager, NVIDIA)
    • The edge is no longer just an inference endpoint—it's becoming an agent host. In this session, we'll highlight new software capabilities for building AI agents across the NVIDIA Jetson platform—from Orin to Thor using jetpack 7.2

60 minutes of presentations, 30 minutes of making friends and helping each other out, then forever in Discord.

We've been waiting a long time for you to join. Now we are ready, and we can't wait to meet you and see what we can do together.
