Overview
In Ingesting Robot Assets and Simulating Your Robot in Isaac Sim, we will dive into the process of importing and simulating robots in Isaac Sim.
This course builds upon the foundational concepts covered in the first course, which focused on building a basic robot using primitives and setting up physics. Here, we will explore how to import robot assets using the URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) importer. We will then set up control interfaces, including differential controllers and keyboard control, and examine how to add sensors to the robot.
The course will end with an introduction to the Isaac Sim robotic assets, providing a hands-on experience with importing and simulating more complex robot models. Through this course, you will gain practical skills in importing and simulating robots in Isaac Sim, preparing them for more advanced robotics projects.
