    Hi everyone,

My goal is to move a forklift towards a pallet (not necessarily picking it up) and save .png files from a camera mounted on it.

Currently, I am using the rigged forklift from this tutorial, and I have mounted a camera on it. However, I am unsure how to move the forklift using a Python script to approach a pallet that I have placed on the floor.

The tutorial states that the forklift can be moved using Isaac Sim commands, but I am unable to find the relevant commands or tutorial for this.

Can someone help me in this regard? Thank in advance

Do you only want to move it (i.e. update translate.x), control the wheels to move it physically correct or do you need a planner to move it towards a random palette pose or should the planner even run some collision avoidance?

There is a demo that fits perfectly: Randomization in Simulation – AMR Navigation — Isaac Sim Documentation
