Isaac Gym installation for Windows

Autonomous Machines Robotics - Isaac Isaac Gym

Hello everyone who reads this,

I have been trying to download and use Isaac Gym recently and have several questions.

After downloading the zip file, I encountered the “Error 0x80070522” issue while extracting it. Using 7-zip resolved this issue.

I have a few questions:

  1. Where should the zip folder be extracted to?
    Should it be extracted to Isaac Sim: AppData\Local\ov\pkg\isaac_sim-2023.1.1 or to the location of my personal Nvidia local host server?

  2. Setting up the environment:
    I used the command prompt to connect to Python, created a virtual environment, and installed dependencies using pip install -e .. However, during testing, I found that the PhysX SDK was not implemented. I read some articles suggesting the use of CMake to create a build folder and configure the SDK and libraries, but this did not work for me.

  3. Step-by-step guide for Windows 11:
    If there is something I am missing, could someone please provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide for setting up Isaac Gym on Windows 11?

  4. Reinforcement Learning with Isaac Sim:
    Is Isaac Sim capable of performing reinforcement learning with a robot URDF, for example, a bi-pedal robot?

Does one need to use the Script Manager to create the required Python code for this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am learning all of this on my own, with ChatGPT help of course.

Thank you!

Ok, thank you.

I recently put that together. I have been trying to play around with doing RL in Isaac Sim 4.0 with a Bi-Pedal robot assembly. For some reason when I import the assembly with material and joint with limits(Fastened and revolute) the assembly “Explodes” after I make the main body ridged. Do you have any solution.

Thank you again for the help :)
