4.1.0
General
Based on Kit 106.0.1
Both the Workstation app and Container access assets directly from the Cloud by default.
PhysX
Debug visualization can now display friction impulses for contacts
Fixed: Debug visualization for contact points had an artificial one frame delay that was removed
Fixed: Articulation Mimic Joint cloning (that is, replication) was not working
Fixed: Articulation Joint Friction Coefficient and Maximum Velocity Limit were not updated at runtime with GPU simulation
It is now possible to query actual GPU buffer use through the simulation statistics interface
get_physx_scene_statistics, which can help size the GPU buffer parameters in the Physics Scene API for large RL scenesFixes for possible crashes in triggers, articulation parsing, joints visualization, physics inspector and others
Joint state validation added into asset validation tool
The visual debugger OmniPVD added fixes to streaming of objects in RL scenarios, using the GPU pipeline and cloning. Also added fixes to reading of articulations and joints in such scenes in the viewer.
Assets/ Import
Added materials for UR20 / UR30 robot arms
Tuned physics parameters for the 2f 85 and 2f 140 manipulators
Replicator
Improved pointcloud annotator performance
Improved semantic segmentation annotator performance
Improved performance when scenes have many graph nodes
Fixed: Bug causing error when writing to attributes of dtype=float4
Fixed: Issue where detaching a specific NodeWriter instance would detach all node writers of the same type
Fixed: Error when applying
randomizer.rotationon prims with opOrders that don’t already includerotateXYZFixed: Issue with pointcloud annotator with a multi-GPU system
Fixed: BasicWriter writing to both S3 and local disk when specifying S3 parameters
Robots
Added Ackermann controller class
Deprecated Ackermann steering node and replaced it with ackermann controller node
Sensors
Lidar flat scans report correct azimuth range and provide timestamp of first beam in scan
Fixes many small errors and warnings when using
omni.isaac.sensorextension
ROS
Adds
IsaacROS2CameraInfoHelperOGN node as preferred method to publish ROS2 CameraInfo messages for monocular and stereo cameras, including correct stereo rectification parameterAdded support for ROS2 Bridge with WSL2 on Windows
MetroSim
ORO extension
Known issue: running on windows has regex import error; this will get fixed in the next release
Supports recursively pack boxes of boxes - description files are added as examples.
A mutable attribute specific seed that can be calculated through macros is supported.
Macros are improved to have relative and absolute macros, for referencing in a compact way. Also you can freely refer to lists recursively with ~ grammar.
Docs are updated to explain these new features
ORA extension
Improved the agent spawning such that it checks the Axis-Aligned Bounding Box to prevent spawning inside the static obstacles
SDG now runs synchronously by default

Upgraded Lula from release 0.9.1 to 0.10.0. This new version includes a much-improved collision sphere generator and enhancements to the task-space global planner (JT-RRT), including support for full-pose targets and improved performance. The global planner enhancements entail some parameter changes that break backward compatibility, as does a generalization of the kinematics API to support cases where only a subset of c-space coordinates have acceleration and/or jerk limits.

Fix for USD joint sign convention used in joint limits, joint target positions/velocities, joint forces, etc;
If the arrangement of USD joint bodies (body0/body1) isn’t similar to the underlying physics kinematic tree hierarchy (parent/child), scalar properties undergo a sign inversion. Notably, for joint forces, a transformation is applied to ensure reporting in the USD joint body1 frame.
It is important to note that this adjustment may impact the behavior of existing user assets, particularly in cases where warnings related to the incorrect ordering of USD joint bodies have been overlooked.
