Course 5 - Leveraging ROS 2 and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) in Isaac Sim

I do not own an NVIDIA Jetson, so I was not able to go through the instructions provided by the course. This page is purely additional context for conceptual understanding.

This course shows how to perform HIL by having the image segmentation task run on a physical NVIDIA Jetson. In SIL, the image segmentation task ran on our computer.

How is camera data from Isaac Sim passed to the NVIDIA Jetson?
If I wanted to connect physical robots to Isaac Sim, do they have to run Isaac ROS/connect to a NVIDIA Jetson?
