[Tutorial w/ Code] How I Use IsaacSim with Docker, ROS2, & Octomap for Robotics PhD Research

💻 In this video, I show you how I learned to use Nvidia IsaacSim with Docker, ROS2, and Octomap to do robotics simulations. I provide a code walk through of the accompany GitHub repo you can clone to get started with examples today. 🎮 I use a wired XBox Controller (https://amzn.to/43gmFPX) to "teleoperate" the robot in this video - meaning that I am controlling it remotely rather than it driving itself autonomously.
