# Description

This MR goes over the scene tutorial and makes it consistent with the
articulation tutorial.

# Description

This MR simplifies the current tutorials on rigid objects and
articulations. It introduces the rigid object first as that is a simpler
example. The articulation builds on top of that tutorial to explain the
joints-related details.

# Description

Earlier the application was continuing to play when an exception was
raised. This is because we had a "while" loop in the simulation stop
callback. This MR makes sure that the while-loop is only called when it
is truly needed. Otherwise, the program should exit.

# Description

Adds two options to the `docker/container.sh` file:

- `push`: which will export the latest docker container to a singluarity
image and scp it on some compute cluster
- `job`: which will launch automatically a job on a SLURM compute
cluster

Had to make minimal changes to the `Dockerfile`, the
`docker_compose.yaml`, and `env.py` which at the moment contains the
parameters for these operations. For the job settings can be formulated
in `docker/cluster/job_submit.sh`.

Currently, this setup has been tested on ETH Zurich Euler cluster.

Fixes #146

# Description

Previously, we did not add the Orbit repo to the RSL-RL git repositories
list. This resulted in the git state of the runs not being logged when
using RSL-RL. This MR allows RSL-RL to log the git state of the orbit
repository.

If the argument `--run_name` is passed with the command line interface,
it overrides the default `run_name` in the agent cfg.

Additionally, the MR adds support for different logging types. These
changes were suggested in #36.

If the argument `--logger` is passed with the command line interface, it
overrides the default `logger` in the agent cfg to be one of
tensorboard, wandb or neptune.

# Description

For a long time, we have been seeing a slow simulation setup time (i.e.
time spent in `sim.reset` call). It takes around 70-75 seconds to set up
the simulation for ANYmal locomotion task with the new USD asset for it.
This number is only increasing with other more complex robots we have
been trying to import.

The MR dives into the possible causes and gets rid of costly operations.
Many of these are coming from Isaac Sim itself, particularly related to
the initialization of views. Hence, the following breaking changes:

* We no longer depend on Isaac Sim for `RigidPrimView` and
`ArticulationView`. Instead, we directly create underlying PhysX views
for them.
* We add faster reimplementations of functions that are used for regex
matching.

With these changes, the simulation load time is reduced from up to 80
sec to 15 sec. A bulk of the time is still going to setting up the
simulation step for the first time.

## Type of change

functionality to not work as expected)

Return the python used in orbit -d to the one derived by 'extract_python_exe' rather than hardcoded python3

This MR specifies the sphinxcontrib-bibtex==2.5.0 to prevent hanging upon
building docs with python3.10. When the version is greater than this, it causes
pip to hang on requirements.txt installation such that building docs is
impossible.

# Description

This MR does the following:

* Fixes pose computation in the `omni.isaac.orbit.sensors.Camera` class
to obtain them from XFormPrimView instead of using the
`UsdGeomCamera.ComputeLocalToWorldTransform` method. The latter is not
updated correctly during GPU simulation.
* Fixes initialization of the annotator info in the `Camera`.
Previously, all info dicts had the same memory address, which caused all
annotators to have the same info.
* Fixes the conversion of `uint32` warp arrays inside the
`omni.isaac.orbit.utils.array.convert_to_torch` method. PyTorch does not
support this type, so it is converted to `int32` before converting to
PyTorch tensor. This is needed to work with the replicator's output for
semantic segmentation images.
* Adds render call inside `omni.isaac.orbit.sim.SimulationContext.reset`
to initialize Replicator buffers when the simulation is reset.

# Description

Currently, the joint parameters must always be specified from the
user-defined configurations. Setting them to None makes them go to zero
(for stiffness and damping) and infinity (for limits). This is not great
since many assets may have some values in the USD file that they have
tuned using inspection tools in Omniverse.

This MR changes the behavior of `None` in the actuator configuration to
load default values provided as inputs to the actuator class. It also
loads other joint drive parameters such as friction and armature.

# Description

Previously, while the manager classes supported "functional" class
terms, they only implemented `__call__` attribute. However, more
frequently, the class terms will keep some history in them which we
would want to clear out.

This MR introduces a `ManagerTerm` class for class terms which serves as
a protocol for how manager terms that are classes should be implemented.
The `ActionTerm` inherits from this `ManagerTerm`.

# Description

Previously, the `Asset` classes assumed that the root prim existed at
the spawn prim location. This means that when the robot is spawned at
`/World/Robot`, the articulation root prim is also at `/World/Root`.
However, this is not safe operation as many assets will have the root
defined under the spawn location.

The MR safely checks if there are prims under the spawn location that
have the API defined for them. If they do, then it uses that prim path
for initializing the views.

# Description

This MR makes a critical fix for the assets classes `reset` mechanism.
Particularly, the `write_` methods for the physics handles.

Before, the root and joint states were reset for all environments rather
than the specific `env_ids` concerned with the reset. This caused
instabilities in the dynamics, but it was not necessarily perceivable in
environments with spread-out resets like ANYmal.

This PR unifies the structure of an `Env` and adds these core components
to the `BaseEnv` as well.

# Description

This MR changes the `AssetBase` and `SensorBase` classes to use
time-line events instead of physics events for initializing and
invalidating physics-based handles. This is needed for cases where we
have to wait for physics mesh cooking to finish before the handles are
available.

For instance, with the previous code, when trying to initialize the
views for deformable objects, the following error happens:

```bash

# Description

Previously, there was a bug that was setting stiffness to damping values
when configuration was passed as dictionaries. This MR fixes this issue.

This MR adds raising of import errors in the `omni.isaac.orbit_tasks` package. Previously,
these were getting caught and ignored which made debugging difficult.

# Description

Fixes action indexing for multiple actions. Currently all successive
actions mimic the first one due to an indexing error.
