Force/Torque sensor for Universal Robots

Hi,

I’ve been waiting for the Force/Torque sensor capability in the Isaac Sim. I saw that the new version supports it:
Support for a variety of environment sensors - position, velocity, force, torque, etc

Is there a guide of how to use a sensor?

More specifically, I ported an URDF of the UR5e robot. I want to set a Force/Torque sensor in the wrist between the robot and the gripper and then use ROS to control the robot.

I would appreciate any help with this.

Hi nanoki07,

The force sensor will be supported in the new release . The new release will be in early June. Please check it out then and let us know if you still have questions.

Kindly,
Liila

Where can I find this sensor? I can only find a 1 dof contact sensor

Force/Torque sensors are directly supported in PhysX now:
