Locomotion robots#

The bundled locomotion presets use the generic Robot runtime. Each model has its own page with an individual render, usage example and configuration summary. They can be selected independently of a task through the robot catalog:

Each configuration owns the simulation asset, floating base, default standing pose, locomotion control group and effective PD drive defaults previously defined by its flat-velocity task. The same model configuration serves Default and Newton deployments. G1 and H1_2 identify the specific bundled models above; they do not select other hardware revisions implicitly.

Task YAML selects robot.class_type and may override joint_drive_props. Tasks continue to own action scaling, observation layout, commands, rewards, randomization and illegal-contact rules. Contact sensors remain environment declarations. The model profiles are simulation presets, not certified hardware calibrations or implementations of Isaac Lab’s learned or BAM actuators.

The backend-free profile reader is shared with pure Torch task contracts. Source-ordered asset.init_qpos and the ordered robot.joint_names / robot.default_joint_position pair have distinct roles; keep their ordering when changing a model. Foot and IMU reference points are stored alongside the model. The presets retain build_pk_chain=False and provide no limb IK solver.

See the API reference for the public configuration classes and model-profile reader.

Render Settings#

The individual previews use DexSim OfflineRT (rt) with shared lighting and render settings: 1 sample per pixel, DLSS denoising, tone mapping disabled and exposure 1. Each model uses its default joint pose and is framed independently, so the images do not show a common physical scale. RGB captures have no additional gamma or color correction.
