Overview

This repository provides an example of synchronizing a TM Robot with Isaac Sim. Users can control the TM Robot externally via Moveit using the TM ROS Driver and synchronize its pose to Isaac Sim. Additionally, users can build their own simulation environment based on their specific needs. The provided robot USD serves as a component that can be imported for use.

Requirements

• TM ROS Driver (Noetic)
• Isaac Sim 4.2.0

Installing the TM ROS Noetic Driver

Install the driver according to the TMflow version of your TM Robot. For example, for TMflow 2:

• Installation:
  TM ROS Driver Installation Guide

• For driver usage and controlling the robot with Moveit, refer to:
  TM ROS Driver Usage

Installing Nvidia Isaac Sim

1. Install Isaac Sim 4.2.0 according to Nvidia's official hardware requirements and download:

   • System Requirements
   • Installation Guide (Omniverse Launcher will be deprecated and will no longer be available starting October 1, 2025.)
   • download

   If installed via Omniverse Launcher, the default installation path is usually:

   ~/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac-sim-4.2.0

2. Navigate to your Isaac Sim folder and install rospkg in the Python environment:

   cd ~/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac-sim-4.2.0
   ./python.sh -m pip install rospkg

Quick Start

Real Robot

1. Modify tmros_setup.sh to set the correct TM ROS Driver path and Robot IP.
2. Modify run_demo.sh to set your Isaac Sim path, then run:

   ./run_demo.sh

Virtual Robot

1. Modify tmros_setup.sh to set the correct TM ROS Driver path.
2. Run run_demo_virtual.sh to launch the virtual robot:

   ./run_demo_virtual.sh

Now, you can control the TM Robot using Moveit and synchronize its pose to Isaac Sim.
