Hi everyone,
I’m evaluating Isaac Sim for use in evolutionary robotics, and I’d appreciate input from users experienced with large-scale simulation.
Currently, I’m using Gazebo Harmonic to simulate TurtleBot 4, but I run into performance issues when simulating more than a few robots. My experiments require running thousands of short simulations, potentially involving multiple robots per simulation. So I’m looking for a simulator that can:
• Run significantly faster than real time (high Real Time Factor)
• Be automated and scripted for batch execution
• Scale well with the number of robots in the scene
Does Isaac Sim support this kind of workload effectively? Specifically:
• How does the simulation performance scale as I increase the number of mobile robots?
• What are typical Real Time Factors achievable when simulating, say, 5, 10, or 20 robots with basic sensors and locomotion?
• Are there best practices or resources for optimizing performance and automating simulation runs?
Thanks in advance for any feedback or pointers!
This is my first post on the forum. Sorry in advance if I posted in the wrong place. If that’s the case, please point me to the right one.
