Interactive Demos

Explore physics and trained policies in your browser—no installation required. Select a demo below to get started.

VBD material stiffness

Tuning

Compare three deformable cubes. Adjust shear, volume stiffness, damping, and gravity, then repeat the same drop.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=stiffness

VBD cloth bending

Tuning

Compare cloth sheets draping over rollers. Change the middle sheet’s bending stiffness and gravity.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=cloth_bending

MJWarp sliding friction

Tuning

Change a box’s friction on an incline and compare its sliding motion with two fixed material references.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=rigid_friction

Joint PD tuning

Tuning

Tune a suspended three-joint arm with step and sine commands. Compare target and measured angles on the live tracking plot.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=joint_pd

MPM material response

Tuning

Drop 2,744 fine particles onto a cylinder inside a catch tub. Try sand, snow, clay, and water references, or tune individual parameters.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=mpm

VBD cable bending

Tuning

Bend a clamped 0.45 m, ten-segment cable. Adjust bending stiffness and downward tip load, then reset to compare the response.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=cable_bending

Domino cascade

Tuning

Topple 24 slabs with a short push. Change friction and replay the cascade using Newton XPBD and the Isaac Lab checker ground.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=dominoes

Cartpole balancing

Policy

Push a pretrained balancing policy with up to 300 N in either direction. Release the slider to watch it recover.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=cartpole

G1 velocity control

Policy

Command forward, sideways, and turning motion with travel and yaw pads using the published WBC-AGILE policy.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=g1

ANYmal-D velocity control

Policy

Drive an ANYmal-D with travel and yaw pads using a published Isaac Lab Newton checkpoint.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=anymal

MicroDuck walking

Policy

Walk in a bounded warehouse. Drag sticks to their edges to lock commands; pull back or press Escape to stop. Drag the robot for a 2 N push.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=microduck

Franka reach

Policy

Move the target position and watch a pretrained joint-position policy reach for it.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_reach

Franka lift

Policy

Watch a pretrained policy lift a cube from a pregrasp reset. Adjust its target position, pause, or replay the episode.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_lift

Franka drawer opening

Policy

Play, pause, and reset a pretrained drawer-opening policy. Orbit the camera to inspect the grasp and drawer motion.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_drawer

Franka soft-body policy

Policy

Lift a flexible beam with a pretrained VBD policy. Change its target height or stiffness, or pull the beam to test recovery.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_soft

Franka cloth policy

Policy

Watch a pretrained VBD policy grasp a cloth sheet through contact. Adjust bending stiffness or target height, or pull the cloth.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_cloth

Franka cube stacking

Scripted

Stack two 50 mm cubes with a scripted IK controller and simulated gripper contacts, or take over the arm in Manual mode.

../../../demos/interactive/?demo=franka_stack

About these demos

Each demo runs a Newton simulation locally on your CPU through WebAssembly, with camera controls, pause, and reset. Simplified scenes and adapted policy playback can behave differently from native tasks. Use the full Isaac Lab environments for training and measured comparisons.

Simulation bundles, policy checkpoints, exporters, and third-party license notices are distributed through the interactive-demos release. See the original implementation.
