Start Omniverse-simulation from Python

Omniverse Isaac Sim
1

My goal is to avoid collisions while randomly placing USDs in space. I therefore want to add Physics to the SyntheticData Sample Application (https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/robotics/text/Robotics_SyntheticData_Samples.html). Under guidance of https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/robotics/text/Robotics_PythonAPI.html everything went well.
I am now struggling to start the simulation and run it for a few steps before extracting the ground-truth-data within Python. Is there a way to manage this without the need of using the UI?

Thanks in advice

Hi thn,

yes, you should be able to do that.
We will have more examples on this in our next release.

Kindly,

I am also quite interested in this, specifically a light-weight python script to load only my simulation environment and handle all object creation and robot control and everything from a Python script without ever having to touch the GUI. I tried a few things given the current example code but have not found a good solution yet.

Hi Adam,

Thanks, we know that this is a favorable workflow for many roboticist.
The plan is to be covered in the next release.

Kindly,
