Functions

configclass(cls, **kwargs)

Configuration class#

Sub-module that provides a wrapper around the Python 3.7 onwards dataclasses module.

Functions:

configclass(cls, **kwargs)

Wrapper around dataclass functionality to add extra checks and utilities.

omni.isaac.lab.utils.configclass.configclass(cls, **kwargs)[source]#

Wrapper around dataclass functionality to add extra checks and utilities.

As of Python 3.7, the standard dataclasses have two main issues which makes them non-generic for configuration use-cases. These include:

Requiring a type annotation for all its members.
Requiring explicit usage of field(default_factory=...)() to reinitialize mutable variables.

This function provides a decorator that wraps around Python’s dataclass utility to deal with the above two issues. It also provides additional helper functions for dictionary <-> class conversion and easily copying class instances.

Usage:

from dataclasses import MISSING

from omni.isaac.lab.utils.configclass import configclass


@configclass
class ViewerCfg:
    eye: list = [7.5, 7.5, 7.5]  # field missing on purpose
    lookat: list = field(default_factory=[0.0, 0.0, 0.0])


@configclass
class EnvCfg:
    num_envs: int = MISSING
    episode_length: int = 2000
    viewer: ViewerCfg = ViewerCfg()

# create configuration instance
env_cfg = EnvCfg(num_envs=24)

# print information as a dictionary
print(env_cfg.to_dict())

# create a copy of the configuration
env_cfg_copy = env_cfg.copy()

# replace arbitrary fields using keyword arguments
env_cfg_copy = env_cfg_copy.replace(num_envs=32)

Parameters:

cls – The class to wrap around.
**kwargs – Additional arguments to pass to dataclass().

Returns:

The wrapped class.

omni.isaac.lab.utils.array.TENSOR_TYPES = {'numpy': numpy.ndarray, 'torch': torch.Tensor, 'warp': warp.array}#

A dictionary containing the types for each backend.

The keys are the name of the backend (“numpy”, “torch”, “warp”) and the values are the corresponding type (np.ndarray, torch.Tensor, wp.array).

omni.isaac.lab.utils.array.TENSOR_TYPE_CONVERSIONS = {'numpy': {warp.array: <function <lambda>>, torch.Tensor: <function <lambda>>}, 'torch': {warp.array: <function <lambda>>, numpy.ndarray: <function <lambda>>}, 'warp': {numpy.array: <function <lambda>>, torch.Tensor: <function <lambda>>}}#

omni.isaac.lab.utils.array.convert_to_torch(array: TensorData, dtype: torch.dtype = None, device: torch.device | str | None = None) → torch.Tensor[source]#

Converts a given array into a torch tensor.

The function tries to convert the array to a torch tensor. If the array is a numpy/warp arrays, or python list/tuples, it is converted to a torch tensor. If the array is already a torch tensor, it is returned directly.

If device is None, then the function deduces the current device of the data. For numpy arrays, this defaults to “cpu”, for torch tensors it is “cpu” or “cuda”, and for warp arrays it is “cuda”.

Note

Since PyTorch does not support unsigned integer types, unsigned integer arrays are converted to signed integer arrays. This is done by casting the array to the corresponding signed integer type.

Parameters:

array – The input array. It can be a numpy array, warp array, python list/tuple, or torch tensor.
dtype – Target data-type for the tensor.
device – The target device for the tensor. Defaults to None.

Returns:

The converted array as torch tensor.

Classes:

`CircularBuffer`	Circular buffer for storing a history of batched tensor data.
`DelayBuffer`	Delay buffer that allows retrieving stored data with delays.
`TimestampedBuffer`	A buffer class containing data and its timestamp.

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.buffers.CircularBuffer[source]#

Bases: object

Circular buffer for storing a history of batched tensor data.

This class implements a circular buffer for storing a history of batched tensor data. The buffer is initialized with a maximum length and a batch size. The data is stored in a circular fashion, and the data can be retrieved in a LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) fashion. The buffer is designed to be used in multi-environment settings, where each environment has its own data.

The shape of the appended data is expected to be (batch_size, …), where the first dimension is the batch dimension. Correspondingly, the shape of the ring buffer is (max_len, batch_size, …).

Methods:

`__init__`(max_len, batch_size, device)	Initialize the circular buffer.
`reset`([batch_ids])	Reset the circular buffer at the specified batch indices.
`append`(data)	Append the data to the circular buffer.

Attributes:

`batch_size`	The batch size of the ring buffer.
`device`	The device used for processing.
`max_length`	The maximum length of the ring buffer.
`current_length`	The current length of the buffer.

__init__(max_len: int, batch_size: int, device: str)[source]#

Initialize the circular buffer.

Parameters:

max_len – The maximum length of the circular buffer. The minimum allowed value is 1.
batch_size – The batch dimension of the data.
device – The device used for processing.

Raises:

ValueError – If the buffer size is less than one.

property batch_size: int#: The batch size of the ring buffer.

property device: str#: The device used for processing.

property max_length: int#: The maximum length of the ring buffer.

property current_length: torch.Tensor#

The current length of the buffer. Shape is (batch_size,).

Since the buffer is circular, the current length is the minimum of the number of pushes and the maximum length.

reset(batch_ids: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]#

Reset the circular buffer at the specified batch indices.

Parameters:: batch_ids – Elements to reset in the batch dimension. Default is None, which resets all the batch indices.

append(data: torch.Tensor)[source]#

Append the data to the circular buffer.

Parameters:: data – The data to append to the circular buffer. The first dimension should be the batch dimension. Shape is (batch_size, …).
Raises:: ValueError – If the input data has a different batch size than the buffer.

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.buffers.DelayBuffer[source]#

Bases: object

Delay buffer that allows retrieving stored data with delays.

This class uses a batched circular buffer to store input data. Different to a standard circular buffer, which uses the LIFO (last-in-first-out) principle to retrieve the data, the delay buffer class allows retrieving data based on the lag set by the user. For instance, if the delay set inside the buffer is 1, then the second last entry from the stream is retrieved. If it is 2, then the third last entry and so on.

The class supports storing a batched tensor data. This means that the shape of the appended data is expected to be (batch_size, …), where the first dimension is the batch dimension. Correspondingly, the delay can be set separately for each batch index. If the requested delay is larger than the current length of the underlying buffer, the most recent entry is returned.

Note

By default, the delay buffer has no delay, meaning that the data is returned as is.

Methods:

`__init__`(history_length, batch_size, device)	Initialize the delay buffer.
`set_time_lag`(time_lag[, batch_ids])	Sets the time lag for the delay buffer across the provided batch indices.
`reset`([batch_ids])	Reset the data in the delay buffer at the specified batch indices.
`compute`(data)	Append the input data to the buffer and returns a stale version of the data based on time lag delay.

Attributes:

`batch_size`	The batch size of the ring buffer.
`device`	The device used for processing.
`history_length`	The history length of the delay buffer.
`min_time_lag`	Minimum amount of time steps that can be delayed.
`max_time_lag`	Maximum amount of time steps that can be delayed.
`time_lags`	The time lag across each batch index.

__init__(history_length: int, batch_size: int, device: str)[source]#

Initialize the delay buffer.

Parameters:

history_length – The history of the buffer, i.e., the number of time steps in the past that the data will be buffered. It is recommended to set this value equal to the maximum time-step lag that is expected. The minimum acceptable value is zero, which means only the latest data is stored.
batch_size – The batch dimension of the data.
device – The device used for processing.

property batch_size: int#: The batch size of the ring buffer.

property device: str#: The device used for processing.

property history_length: int#

The history length of the delay buffer.

If zero, only the latest data is stored. If one, the latest and the previous data are stored, and so on.

property min_time_lag: int#

Minimum amount of time steps that can be delayed.

This value cannot be negative or larger than max_time_lag.

property max_time_lag: int#

Maximum amount of time steps that can be delayed.

This value cannot be greater than history_length.

property time_lags: torch.Tensor#

The time lag across each batch index.

The shape of the tensor is (batch_size, ). The value at each index represents the delay for that index. This value is used to retrieve the data from the buffer.

set_time_lag(time_lag: int | torch.Tensor, batch_ids: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]#

Sets the time lag for the delay buffer across the provided batch indices.

Parameters:

time_lag –
The desired delay for the buffer.
- If an integer is provided, the same delay is set for the provided batch indices.
- If a tensor is provided, the delay is set for each batch index separately. The shape of the tensor should be (len(batch_ids),).
batch_ids – The batch indices for which the time lag is set. Default is None, which sets the time lag for all batch indices.

Raises:

TypeError – If the type of the time_lag is not int or integer tensor.
ValueError – If the minimum time lag is negative or the maximum time lag is larger than the history length.

reset(batch_ids: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]#

Reset the data in the delay buffer at the specified batch indices.

Parameters:: batch_ids – Elements to reset in the batch dimension. Default is None, which resets all the batch indices.

compute(data: torch.Tensor) → torch.Tensor[source]#

Append the input data to the buffer and returns a stale version of the data based on time lag delay.

If the requested delay is larger than the number of buffered data points since the last reset, the function returns the latest data. For instance, if the delay is set to 2 and only one data point is stored in the buffer, the function will return the latest data. If the delay is set to 2 and three data points are stored, the function will return the first data point.

Parameters:: data – The input data. Shape is (batch_size, …).
Returns:: The delayed version of the data from the stored buffer. Shape is (batch_size, …).

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.buffers.TimestampedBuffer[source]#

Bases: object

A buffer class containing data and its timestamp.

This class is a simple data container that stores a tensor and its timestamp. The timestamp is used to track the last update of the buffer. The timestamp is set to -1.0 by default, indicating that the buffer has not been updated yet. The timestamp should be updated whenever the data in the buffer is updated. This way the buffer can be used to check whether the data is outdated and needs to be refreshed.

The buffer is useful for creating lazy buffers that only update the data when it is outdated. This can be useful when the data is expensive to compute or retrieve. For example usage, refer to the data classes in the omni.isaac.lab.assets module.

Attributes:

`data`	The data stored in the buffer.
`timestamp`	Timestamp at the last update of the buffer.

Methods:

__init__([data, timestamp])

data: torch.Tensor = None#: The data stored in the buffer. Default is None, indicating that the buffer is empty.

__init__(data: torch.Tensor | None = None, timestamp: float = -1.0) → None#

timestamp: float = -1.0#: Timestamp at the last update of the buffer. Default is -1.0, indicating that the buffer has not been updated.

Interpolation operations#

Submodule for different interpolation methods.

Classes:

LinearInterpolation

Linearly interpolates a sampled scalar function for arbitrary query points.

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.interpolation.LinearInterpolation[source]#

Bases: object

Linearly interpolates a sampled scalar function for arbitrary query points.

This class implements a linear interpolation for a scalar function. The function maps from real values, x, to real values, y. It expects a set of samples from the function’s domain, x, and the corresponding values, y. The class allows querying the function’s values at any arbitrary point.

The interpolation is done by finding the two closest points in x to the query point and then linearly interpolating between the corresponding y values. For the query points that are outside the input points, the class does a zero-order-hold extrapolation based on the boundary values. This means that the class returns the value of the closest point in x.

Methods:

`__init__`(x, y, device)	Initializes the linear interpolation.
`compute`(q)	Calculates a linearly interpolated values for the query points.

__init__(x: torch.Tensor, y: torch.Tensor, device: str)[source]#

The scalar function maps from real values, x, to real values, y. The input to the class is a set of samples from the function’s domain, x, and the corresponding values, y.

Note

The input tensor x should be sorted in ascending order.

Parameters:

x – An vector of samples from the function’s domain. The values should be sorted in ascending order. Shape is (num_samples,)
y – The function’s values associated to the input x. Shape is (num_samples,)
device – The device used for processing.

Raises:

ValueError – If the input tensors are empty or have different sizes.
ValueError – If the input tensor x is not sorted in ascending order.

compute(q: torch.Tensor) → torch.Tensor[source]#

Parameters:

depth – The depth measurement. Shape is (H, W) or or (H, W, 1) or (N, H, W) or (N, H, W, 1).

If True, the input depth image is considered as the orthogonal type, where the measurements are from the camera’s image plane. If False, the depth image is considered as the perspective type, where the measurements are from the camera’s optical center. Defaults to True.

Returns:

The 3D coordinates of points. Shape is (P, 3) or (N, P, 3).

Raises:

ValueError – When depth is not of shape (H, W) or (H, W, 1) or (N, H, W) or (N, H, W, 1).

Converts a quaternion representing a rotation from one convention to another.

In USD, the camera follows the "opengl" convention. Thus, it is always in Y up convention. This means that the camera is looking down the -Z axis with the +Y axis pointing up , and +X axis pointing right. However, in ROS, the camera is looking down the +Z axis with the +Y axis pointing down, and +X axis pointing right. Thus, the camera needs to be rotated by \(180^{\circ}\) around the X axis to follow the ROS convention.

\[\begin{split}T_{ROS} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} T_{USD}\end{split}\]

On the other hand, the typical world coordinate system is with +X pointing forward, +Y pointing left, and +Z pointing up. The camera can also be set in this convention by rotating the camera by \(90^{\circ}\) around the X axis and \(-90^{\circ}\) around the Y axis.

\[\begin{split}T_{WORLD} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} T_{USD}\end{split}\]

Thus, based on their application, cameras follow different conventions for their orientation. This function converts a quaternion from one convention to another.

Possible conventions are:

"opengl" - forward axis: -Z - up axis +Y - Offset is applied in the OpenGL (Usd.Camera) convention
"ros" - forward axis: +Z - up axis -Y - Offset is applied in the ROS convention
"world" - forward axis: +X - up axis +Z - Offset is applied in the World Frame convention

Parameters:

orientation – Quaternion of form (w, x, y, z) with shape (…, 4) in source convention.
origin – Convention to convert from. Defaults to “opengl”.
target – Convention to convert to. Defaults to “ros”.

Returns:

Quaternion of form (w, x, y, z) with shape (…, 4) in target convention

Compute the rotation matrix from world to view coordinates.

This function takes a vector ‘’eyes’’ which specifies the location of the camera in world coordinates and the vector ‘’targets’’ which indicate the position of the object. The output is a rotation matrix representing the transformation from world coordinates -> view coordinates.

The inputs eyes and targets can each be a - 3 element tuple/list - torch tensor of shape (1, 3) - torch tensor of shape (N, 3)

Parameters:

eyes – Position of the camera in world coordinates.
targets – Position of the object in world coordinates.
up_axis – The up axis of the camera. Defaults to “Z”.
device – The device to create torch tensors on. Defaults to “cpu”.

The vectors are broadcast against each other so they all have shape (N, 3).

Modifier operations#

Sub-module containing different modifiers implementations.

Modifiers are used to apply stateful or stateless modifications to tensor data. They take in a tensor and a configuration and return a tensor with the modification applied. This way users can define custom operations to apply to a tensor. For instance, a modifier can be used to normalize the input data or to apply a rolling average.

They are primarily used to apply custom operations in the ObservationManager as an alternative to the built-in noise, clip and scale post-processing operations. For more details, see the ObservationTermCfg class.

Usage with a function modifier:

import torch

Base class for modifiers implemented as classes.

Modifiers implementations can be functions or classes. If a modifier is a class, it should inherit from this class and implement the required methods.

A class implementation of a modifier can be used to store state information between calls. This is useful for modifiers that require stateful operations, such as rolling averages or delays or decaying filters.

Example pseudo-code to create and use the class:

from omni.isaac.lab.utils import modifiers

# define custom keyword arguments to pass to ModifierCfg
kwarg_dict = {"arg_1" : VAL_1, "arg_2" : VAL_2}

# create modifier configuration object
# func is the class name of the modifier and params is the dictionary of arguments
modifier_config = modifiers.ModifierCfg(func=modifiers.ModifierBase, params=kwarg_dict)

Returns:: Modified data. Shape is the same as the input data.

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.modifiers.DigitalFilter[source]#

Bases: ModifierBase

Modifier used to apply digital filtering to the input data.

Digital filters are used to process discrete-time signals to extract useful parts of the signal, such as smoothing, noise reduction, or frequency separation.

The filter can be implemented as a linear difference equation in the time domain. This equation can be used to calculate the output at each time-step based on the current and previous inputs and outputs.

\[y_{i} = X B - Y A = \sum_{j=0}^{N} b_j x_{i-j} - \sum_{j=1}^{M} a_j y_{i-j}\]

where \(y_{i}\) is the current output of the filter. The array \(Y\) contains previous outputs from the filter \(\{y_{i-j}\}_{j=1}^M\) for \(M\) previous time-steps. The array \(X\) contains current \(x_{i}\) and previous inputs to the filter \(\{x_{i-j}\}_{j=1}^N\) for \(N\) previous time-steps respectively. The filter coefficients \(A\) and \(B\) are used to design the filter. They are column vectors of length \(M\) and \(N + 1\) respectively.

Different types of filters can be implemented by choosing different values for \(A\) and \(B\). We provide some examples below.

Examples

Unit Delay Filter

A filter that delays the input signal by a single time-step simply outputs the previous input value.

\[y_{i} = x_{i-1}\]

This can be implemented as a digital filter with the coefficients \(A = [0.0]\) and \(B = [0.0, 1.0]\).

Moving Average Filter

A moving average filter is used to smooth out noise in a signal. It is similar to a low-pass filter but has a finite impulse response (FIR) and is non-recursive.

The filter calculates the average of the input signal over a window of time-steps. The linear difference equation for a moving average filter is:

\[y_{i} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{j=0}^{N} x_{i-j}\]

This can be implemented as a digital filter with the coefficients \(A = [0.0]\) and \(B = [1/N, 1/N, \cdots, 1/N]\).

First-order recursive low-pass filter

A recursive low-pass filter is used to smooth out high-frequency noise in a signal. It is a first-order infinite impulse response (IIR) filter which means it has a recursive component (previous output) in the linear difference equation.

A first-order low-pass IIR filter has the difference equation:

\[y_{i} = \alpha y_{i-1} + (1-\alpha)x_{i}\]

where \(\alpha\) is a smoothing parameter between 0 and 1. Typically, the value of \(\alpha\) is chosen based on the desired cut-off frequency of the filter.

This filter can be implemented as a digital filter with the coefficients \(A = [\alpha]\) and \(B = [1 - \alpha]\).

Methods:

`reset`([env_ids])	Resets digital filter history.
`__call__`(data)	Applies digital filter modification with a rolling history window inputs and outputs.

For more information, please check the DigitalFilter class.

Attributes:

`A`	The coefficients corresponding the the filter's response to past outputs.

params: dict[str, Any]#: The parameters to be passed to the function or callable class as keyword arguments. Defaults to an empty dictionary.

B: list[float]#

It is the numerator coefficients of the transfer function of the filter.

class omni.isaac.lab.utils.modifiers.Integrator[source]#

Bases: ModifierBase

Modifier that applies a numerical forward integration based on a middle Reimann sum.

An integrator is used to calculate the integral of a signal over time. The integral of a signal is the area under the curve of the signal. The integral can be approximated using numerical methods such as the Riemann sum.

The middle Riemann sum is a method to approximate the integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into rectangles. The height of each rectangle is the value of the function at the midpoint of the interval. The area of each rectangle is the width of the interval multiplied by the height of the rectangle.

This integral method is useful for signals that are sampled at regular intervals. The integral can be written as:

\[\int_{t_0}^{t_n} f(t) dt & \approx \int_{t_0}^{t_{n-1}} f(t) dt + \frac{f(t_{n-1}) + f(t_n)}{2} \Delta t\]

where \(f(t)\) is the signal to integrate, \(t_i\) is the time at the i-th sample, and \(\Delta t\) is the time step between samples.

Match a list of query regular expressions against a list of strings and return the matched indices and names.

When a list of query regular expressions is provided, the function checks each target string against each query regular expression and returns the indices of the matched strings and the matched strings.

If the preserve_order is True, the ordering of the matched indices and names is the same as the order of the provided list of strings. This means that the ordering is dictated by the order of the target strings and not the order of the query regular expressions.

If the preserve_order is False, the ordering of the matched indices and names is the same as the order of the provided list of query regular expressions.

For example, consider the list of strings is [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’] and the regular expressions are [‘a|c’, ‘b’]. If preserve_order is False, then the function will return the indices of the matched strings and the strings as: ([0, 1, 2], [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]).

list_of_strings – A list of strings to match.
preserve_order – Whether to preserve the order of the query keys in the returned values. Defaults to False.

A tuple of lists containing the matched indices and names.

Raises:

ValueError – When multiple matches are found for a string in the list.
ValueError – When not all regular expressions are matched.

omni.isaac.lab.utils.string.resolve_matching_names_values(data: dict[str, Any], list_of_strings: Sequence[str], preserve_order: bool = False) → tuple[list[int], list[str], list[Any]][source]#

Match a list of regular expressions in a dictionary against a list of strings and return the matched indices, names, and values.

If the preserve_order is True, the ordering of the matched indices and names is the same as the order of the provided list of strings. This means that the ordering is dictated by the order of the target strings and not the order of the query regular expressions.

If the preserve_order is False, the ordering of the matched indices and names is the same as the order of the provided list of query regular expressions.

For example, consider the dictionary is {“a|d|e”: 1, “b|c”: 2}, the list of strings is [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’]. If preserve_order is False, then the function will return the indices of the matched strings, the matched strings, and the values as: ([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’], [1, 2, 2, 1, 1]). When preserve_order is True, it will return them as: ([0, 3, 4, 1, 2], [‘a’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘b’, ‘c’], [1, 1, 1, 2, 2]).

Parameters:

omni.isaac.lab.utils.warp.raycast_mesh(ray_starts: torch.Tensor, ray_directions: torch.Tensor, mesh: wp.Mesh, max_dist: float = 1000000.0, return_distance: bool = False, return_normal: bool = False, return_face_id: bool = False) → tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor | None, torch.Tensor | None, torch.Tensor | None][source]#

Performs ray-casting against a mesh.

Note that the ray_starts and ray_directions, and ray_hits should have compatible shapes and data types to ensure proper execution. Additionally, they all must be in the same frame.

Parameters:

ray_starts – The starting position of the rays. Shape (N, 3).
ray_directions – The ray directions for each ray. Shape (N, 3).
mesh – The warp mesh to ray-cast against.
max_dist – The maximum distance to ray-cast. Defaults to 1e6.
return_distance – Whether to return the distance of the ray until it hits the mesh. Defaults to False.
return_normal – Whether to return the normal of the mesh face the ray hits. Defaults to False.
return_face_id – Whether to return the face id of the mesh face the ray hits. Defaults to False.

Returns:

The ray hit position. Shape (N, 3).: The returned tensor contains float('inf') for missed hits.
The ray hit distance. Shape (N,).: Will only return if return_distance is True, else returns None. The returned tensor contains float('inf') for missed hits.
The ray hit normal. Shape (N, 3).: Will only return if return_normal is True else returns None. The returned tensor contains float('inf') for missed hits.
The ray hit face id. Shape (N,).: Will only return if return_face_id is True else returns None. The returned tensor contains int(-1) for missed hits.
