1. Control Robot

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use MetaSim to control a robot.

Common Usage

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim <simulator>

you can also render in the headless mode by adding --headless flag. By using this, there will be no window popping up and the rendering will also be faster.

By running the above command, you will give random control actions to the robot and it will automatically record a video.

Examples

Isaac Lab

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim isaaclab

Isaac Gym

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim isaacgym

Mujoco

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim mujoco --headless

Note that we find the non-headless mode of Mujoco is not stable. So we recommend using the headless mode.

Genesis

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim genesis

Note that we find the headless mode of Genesis is not stable. So we recommend using the non-headless mode.

Sapien

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim sapien

Pybullet

python get_started/1_control_robot.py  --sim pybullet

You will get the following videos:
