Release Notes

2023.1.0a - October 20, 2023

Fixes

  • Fix extension loading error in camera app file

2023.1.0 - October 18, 2023

Additions

  • Add support for Warp backend task implementation
  • Add Warp-based RL examples: Cartpole, Ant, Humanoid
  • Add new Factory environments for place and screw: FactoryTaskNutBoltPlace and FactoryTaskNutBoltScrew
  • Add new camera-based Cartpole example: CartpoleCamera
  • Add new deformable environment showing Franka picking up a deformable tube: FrankaDeformable
  • Add support for running OIGE as an extension in Isaac Sim
  • Add options to filter collisions between environments and specify global collision filter paths to RLTask.set_to_scene()
  • Add multinode training support
  • Add dockerfile with OIGE
  • Add option to select kit app file from command line argument kit_app
  • Add rendering_dt parameter to the task config file for setting rendering dt. Defaults to the same value as the physics dt.

Changes

  • use_flatcache flag has been renamed to use_fabric
  • Update hydra-core version to 1.3.2, omegaconf version to 2.3.0
  • Update rlgames to version 1.6.1.
  • The get_force_sensor_forces API for articulations is now deprecated and replaced with get_measured_joint_forces
  • Remove unnecessary cloning of buffers in VecEnv classes
  • Only enable omni.replicator.isaac when domain randomization or cameras are enabled
  • The multi-threaded launch script rlgames_train_mt.py has been re-designed to support the extension workflow. This script can no longer be used to launch a training run from python. Please use rlgames_train.py instead.
  • Restructures for environments to support the new extension-based workflow
  • Add async workflow to factory pick environment to support extension-based workflow
  • Update docker scripts with cache directories

Fixes

  • Fix errors related to setting velocities to kinematic markers in Ingenuity and Quadcopter environments
  • Fix contact-related issues with quadruped assets
  • Fix errors in physics APIs when returning empty tensors
  • Fix orientation correctness issues when using some assets with omni.isaac.core. Additional orientations applied to accommodate for the error are no longer required (i.e. ShadowHand)
  • Updated the deprecated config name seq_len used with RNN networks to seq_length

2022.2.1 - March 16, 2023

Additions

  • Add FactoryTaskNutBoltPick example
  • Add Ant and Humanoid SAC training examples
  • Add multi-GPU support for training
  • Add utility scripts for launching Isaac Sim docker with OIGE
  • Add support for livestream through the Omniverse Streaming Client

Changes

  • Change rigid body fixed_base option to make_kinematic, avoiding creation of unnecessary articulations
  • Update ShadowHand, Ingenuity, Quadcopter and Crazyflie marker objects to use kinematics
  • Update ShadowHand GPU buffer parameters
  • Disable PyTorch nvFuser for better performance
  • Enable viewport and replicator extensions dynamically to maintain order of extension startup
  • Separate app files for headless environments with rendering (requires Isaac Sim update)
  • Update rl-games to v1.6.0

Fixes

  • Fix material property randomization at run-time, including friction and restitution (requires Isaac Sim update)
  • Fix a bug in contact reporting API where incorrect values were being reported (requires Isaac Sim update)
  • Enable render flag in Isaac Sim when enable_cameras is set to True
  • Add root pose and velocity reset to BallBalance environment

2.0.0 - December 15, 2022

Additions

  • Update to Viewport 2.0
  • Allow for runtime mass randomization on GPU pipeline
  • Add runtime mass randomization to ShadowHand environments
  • Introduce disable_contact_processing simulation parameter for faster contact processing
  • Use physics replication for cloning by default for faster load time

Changes

  • Update AnymalTerrain environment to use contact forces
  • Update Quadcopter example to apply local forces
  • Update training parameters for ShadowHandOpenAI_FF environment
  • Rename rlgames_play.py to rlgames_demo.py

Fixes

  • Remove fix_base option from articulation configs
  • Fix in_hand_manipulation random joint position sampling on reset
  • Fix mass and density randomization in MT training script
  • Fix actions/observations noise randomization in MT training script
  • Fix random seed when domain randomization is enabled
