      Fixes missing visible attribute in spawn_ground_plane (#3304) · c91a125c
      Kelly Guo authored
      # Description
      
      `GroundPlaneCfg` allows for specifying `visible` parameter, but this
      would not being parsed in `spawn_ground_plane`, resulting in the
      parameter being a no-op when specified. This change adds a fix to parse
      the `visible` parameter from the cfg and sets the visibility attribute
      for the ground plane cfg appropriately.
      
      Fixes #3263

      Fixes template docs and restructure imitation learning docs (#3283) · 8608fbce
      Pascal Roth authored
      # Description
      
      There have been two places where the template documentation has been
      placed (under Developers Guide and Workthrough), this PR unifies them
      into a new structure (see image below).
      
      Furthermore, the imitation learning examples were missing a grouping,
      this PR introduces a structure similar to the section about
      reinforcement learning
      
      Also some general docs fixes are included.

      Fixes distributed training hanging issue (#3273) · 3edc06c0
      Kelly Guo authored
      # Description
      
      We have been hunting down a strange issue in distributed training setups
      with rendering enabled, where often the process would hang midway
      through training and causes NCCL timeouts. A workaround was discovered
      to set `app.execution.debug.forceSerial = true`, which forces serialized
      scheduling of omni graph within the same thread. This appears to have
      resolved the hanging issue and did not cause performance regressions.

      Enhance Pink IK Controller with Null Space Posture Control
      
      This PR improves the Pink IK controller integration for better humanoid
      robot control and more natural postures.
      
      **Note**: Original this PR was staged in the internal repo (#547). It
      has been moved here due to new Github workflow.
      
      
      ## Key Changes
      ### New Null Space Posture Task
      - Added NullSpacePostureTask to enforce postural constraints on
      shoulder/waist joints while prioritizing end-effector tasks
      - Maintains natural robot poses during manipulation
      ### Controller Improvements
      - Tuned low level PD controller gains
      - Support mixed task types (FrameTask + NullSpacePostureTask)
      ### Testing & Environment Updates
      - Redesigned pink controller test script to use JSON-based
      configurations to program test motions.
      - Updated all environments (PickPlace, NutPour, ExhaustPipe) with null
      space control, damping tasks, and improved tracking
      - Added `Isaac-PickPlace-GR1T2-WaistEnabled-Abs-v0` env that is
      identical to `Isaac-PickPlace-GR1T2-Abs-v0` but enables the Waist DOFs.
      - Added target_eef_link_names mapping for clearer link specification
      
      Fixes # (issue)
      These changes help fix the following problems from [VDR
      feedback](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1saB1QA5r_WlD1l17q7C04WWNltnBW-K0ydI2UB8jxAs/edit?tab=t.0)
      - [Enable Waist DOF](https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/5235527)
      - Discourage elbow flare
      - Make controller low-latency and low-jerk. **We improved the unit test
      for the pink controller and reduced our position and rotation accuracy
      tolerance from 30 mm, 10 degrees to 1 mm, 1 degree.**
      - Develop metric for controller performance
      - Added a flag to disable failure due to joint limits. Previously, any
      commanded pose that ended in joint limit violation would result in no
      solution and the controlled robot freezing in place. This change gets
      the solver to still provide a solution and instead issue a warning for
      joint limit violations.
      
      ## Screenshots
      
      These controller changes have been tested through the Mimic pipeline
      (teleop_se3_agent.py, record/replay_demos.py). Here are videos showing
      teleoperation of all three environments working.

      For the two robomimic tasks: `Isaac-PickPlace-GR1T2-Abs-v0` and
      `Isaac-NutPour-GR1T2-Pink-IK-Abs-v0`, if we collect a new dataset, we
      achieve a success rate of 96 and 92% respectively.

      If Isaac Lab is installed through pip, tasks generated with the Internal
      template cannot be placed inside the site-packages directory of that
      installation. Since this setup would never work correctly, it makes no
      sense to offer the Internal template as an option. This PR therefore
      disables that option entirely whenever Isaac Lab is detected as running
      from a pip-installed path.

      Michael Gussert authored
      Adds a new section in the docs for experimental features.
      As the first experimental feature of Isaac Lab, we are also including
      instructions for running a feature branch of Isaac lab with Newton. This
      change adds in the initial set of documentation for early Newton support
      for Isaac lab.

      Sets the profiler backend to nvtx for improved performance in xr applications. (#3255) · 3a1a65bd
      rwiltz authored
      # Description
      Performance overhead varies based on the profiler backend even when
      profiling is not enabled. In limited testing with AR profile enabled,
      this yields about 5% improvement in framerate.

      Disallows string value written in sb3_ppo_cfg.yaml get evaluated in process_sb3_cfg (#3110) · 81618f21
      ooctipus authored
      # Description
      
      This PR adds stricter interpretation rules to value specified in
      sb3_ppo_cfg.yaml, disallowing eval on any dict, which my contain
      arbitrary code that makes program vulnerable.
      
      Now, `eval` is got rid of, only str that start with `nn.` can be used to
      only import the module from torch.nn. That seems to cover all usage for
      lab so far, I can make more accommodations if there are more cases but
      it seems like it is currently sufficient.

      Fix: observation space Dict for non-concatenated groups only keeps last term (#3134) · aec72bdc
      Sixiang Chen authored
      # Description
      
      This PR fixes a bug in the observation space construction for
      non-concatenated groups in `ManagerBasedRLEnv._configure_gym_env_spaces`
      method. Previously, only the last term in each group was included in the
      Dict, causing loss of observation information. Now, all terms are
      correctly added to the group Dict.
      
      Fixes #3133

      Fixes termination term effort limit check logic (#3163) · a60168a2
      Maurice Rahme authored
      # Description
      
      Fix the logic in `joint_effort_out_of_limit()`; this function aims to
      detect effort limit violations by comparing the desired (computed)
      effort against the applied effort, noting that the simulator clips
      applied torque to the limit assign on creation.
      
      Originally, the logic was written such that if the applied and computed
      torques are equal, then a violation has occurred. However, this is wrong
      as shown by the below example:
      
      ```python
      from isaaclab.managers import SceneEntityCfg
      from isaaclab.envs.mdp.terminations import joint_effort_out_of_limit
      
      env = ...  # any ManagerBasedRLEnv with an Articulation named "robot"
      cfg = SceneEntityCfg(name="robot", joint_ids=[0])  # single joint for clarity
      art = env.scene["robot"]
      
      # Case A: no clipping (should be False but returns True now)
      art.data.computed_torque[:] = 0.0
      art.data.applied_torque[:] = 0.0
      assert joint_effort_out_of_limit(env, cfg).item() is False  # CURRENT: True (bug)
      
      # Case B: clipping (should be True but returns False now)
      art.data.computed_torque[:] = 100.0
      art.data.applied_torque[:] = 50.0  # pretend actuator clipped to ±50
      assert joint_effort_out_of_limit(env, cfg).item() is True   # CURRENT: False (bug)
      
      ```
      
      The solution is hence simply to flip the limit detection logic.
      
      Fixes #3155

      # Description
      
      We found that performance overhead varies depending on the profiler
      backend, even when profiling is not enabled.
      For optimization, we changed the default profiler backend to NVTX.
      Depending on the test case, we observed a performance improvement of
      about 1–12%.

      Adds basic validation tests for scale-based randomization ranges (#3058) · f20d74c5
      Louis LE LAY authored
      # Description
      
      While working on a task I made a tiny typo in the scale randomization
      range for the stiffness-gain parameter. The robot still spawned, but its
      behaviour was utterly bizarre. It only took a minute to spot the
      mistake, yet it made me realize we have no guard-rails for this sort of
      edge case.
      
      This PR introduces a lightweight check that verifies, when
      operation=="scale", the lower bound is non-negative and the upper bound
      is not smaller than the lower one. Right now I cover the most common
      parameters (stiffness, damping, mass, tendon gains, etc.), basically
      anything that must stay positive to make physical sense.
      
      If you’d like the same safeguard applied to other parameter types just
      let me know and I’ll happily extend the patch.
