omni.isaac.lab.envs#

Sub-package for environment definitions.

Environments define the interface between the agent and the simulation. In the simplest case, the environment provides the agent with the current observations and executes the actions provided by the agent. However, the environment can also provide additional information such as the current reward, done flag, and information about the current episode.

There are two types of environment designing workflows:

Manager-based: The environment is decomposed into individual components (or managers) for different aspects (such as computing observations, applying actions, and applying randomization. The users mainly configure the managers and the environment coordinates the managers and calls their functions.
Direct: The user implements all the necessary functionality directly into a single class directly without the need for additional managers.

Based on these workflows, there are the following environment classes:

ManagerBasedEnv: The manager-based workflow base environment which only provides the agent with the current observations and executes the actions provided by the agent.
ManagerBasedRLEnv: The manager-based workflow RL task environment which besides the functionality of the base environment also provides additional Markov Decision Process (MDP) related information such as the current reward, done flag, and information.
DirectRLEnv: The direct workflow RL task environment which provides implementations for implementing scene setup, computing dones, performing resets, and computing reward and observation.

For more information about the workflow design patterns, see the Task Design Workflows section.

Manager Based Environment#

class omni.isaac.lab.envs.ManagerBasedEnv[source]#

The base environment encapsulates the simulation scene and the environment managers for the manager-based workflow.

While a simulation scene or world comprises of different components such as the robots, objects, and sensors (cameras, lidars, etc.), the environment is a higher level abstraction that provides an interface for interacting with the simulation. The environment is comprised of the following components:

Scene: The scene manager that creates and manages the virtual world in which the robot operates. This includes defining the robot, static and dynamic objects, sensors, etc.
Observation Manager: The observation manager that generates observations from the current simulation state and the data gathered from the sensors. These observations may include privileged information that is not available to the robot in the real world. Additionally, user-defined terms can be added to process the observations and generate custom observations. For example, using a network to embed high-dimensional observations into a lower-dimensional space.
Action Manager: The action manager that processes the raw actions sent to the environment and converts them to low-level commands that are sent to the simulation. It can be configured to accept raw actions at different levels of abstraction. For example, in case of a robotic arm, the raw actions can be joint torques, joint positions, or end-effector poses. Similarly for a mobile base, it can be the joint torques, or the desired velocity of the floating base.
Event Manager: The event manager orchestrates operations triggered based on simulation events. This includes resetting the scene to a default state, applying random pushes to the robot at different intervals of time, or randomizing properties such as mass and friction coefficients. This is useful for training and evaluating the robot in a variety of scenarios.

The environment provides a unified interface for interacting with the simulation. However, it does not include task-specific quantities such as the reward function, or the termination conditions. These quantities are often specific to defining Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) while the base environment is agnostic to the MDP definition.

The environment steps forward in time at a fixed time-step. The physics simulation is decimated at a lower time-step. This is to ensure that the simulation is stable. These two time-steps can be configured independently using the ManagerBasedEnvCfg.decimation (number of simulation steps per environment step) and the ManagerBasedEnvCfg.sim.dt (physics time-step) parameters. Based on these parameters, the environment time-step is computed as the product of the two. The two time-steps can be obtained by querying the physics_dt and the step_dt properties respectively.

Methods:

`__init__`(cfg)	Initialize the environment.
`load_managers`()	Load the managers for the environment.
`reset`([seed, options])	Resets all the environments and returns observations.
`step`(action)	Execute one time-step of the environment's dynamics.
`seed`([seed])	Set the seed for the environment.
`close`()	Cleanup for the environment.

Attributes:

`num_envs`	The number of instances of the environment that are running.
`physics_dt`	The physics time-step (in s).
`step_dt`	The environment stepping time-step (in s).
`device`	The device on which the environment is running.

__init__(cfg: ManagerBasedEnvCfg)[source]#

Initialize the environment.

Parameters:: cfg – The configuration object for the environment.
Raises:: RuntimeError – If a simulation context already exists. The environment must always create one since it configures the simulation context and controls the simulation.

property num_envs: int#: The number of instances of the environment that are running.

property physics_dt: float#

The physics time-step (in s).

This is the lowest time-decimation at which the simulation is happening.

property step_dt: float#

The environment stepping time-step (in s).

This is the time-step at which the environment steps forward.

property device#: The device on which the environment is running.

load_managers()[source]#

Load the managers for the environment.

This function is responsible for creating the various managers (action, observation, events, etc.) for the environment. Since the managers require access to physics handles, they can only be created after the simulator is reset (i.e. played for the first time).

Note

In case of standalone application (when running simulator from Python), the function is called automatically when the class is initialized.

However, in case of extension mode, the user must call this function manually after the simulator is reset. This is because the simulator is only reset when the user calls SimulationContext.reset_async() and it isn’t possible to call async functions in the constructor.

reset(seed: int | None = None, options: dict[str, Any] | None = None) → tuple[Dict[str, Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, torch.Tensor]]], dict][source]#

Resets all the environments and returns observations.

Parameters:

Returns:

A tuple containing the observations and extras.

step(action: torch.Tensor) → tuple[Dict[str, Union[torch.Tensor, Dict[str, torch.Tensor]]], dict][source]#

Execute one time-step of the environment’s dynamics.

The environment steps forward at a fixed time-step, while the physics simulation is decimated at a lower time-step. This is to ensure that the simulation is stable. These two time-steps can be configured independently using the ManagerBasedEnvCfg.decimation (number of simulation steps per environment step) and the ManagerBasedEnvCfg.sim.dt (physics time-step). Based on these parameters, the environment time-step is computed as the product of the two.

Parameters:: action – The actions to apply on the environment. Shape is (num_envs, action_dim).

Manager Based RL Environment#

class omni.isaac.lab.envs.ManagerBasedRLEnv[source]#

Bases: ManagerBasedEnv, Env

The superclass for the manager-based workflow reinforcement learning-based environments.

This class inherits from ManagerBasedEnv and implements the core functionality for reinforcement learning-based environments. It is designed to be used with any RL library. The class is designed to be used with vectorized environments, i.e., the environment is expected to be run in parallel with multiple sub-environments. The number of sub-environments is specified using the num_envs.

Each observation from the environment is a batch of observations for each sub- environments. The method step() is also expected to receive a batch of actions for each sub-environment.

While the environment itself is implemented as a vectorized environment, we do not inherit from gym.vector.VectorEnv. This is mainly because the class adds various methods (for wait and asynchronous updates) which are not required. Additionally, each RL library typically has its own definition for a vectorized environment. Thus, to reduce complexity, we directly use the gym.Env over here and leave it up to library-defined wrappers to take care of wrapping this environment for their agents.

Note

For vectorized environments, it is recommended to only call the reset() method once before the first call to step(), i.e. after the environment is created. After that, the step() function handles the reset of terminated sub-environments. This is because the simulator does not support resetting individual sub-environments in a vectorized environment.

Attributes:

`is_vector_env`	Whether the environment is a vectorized environment.
`metadata`	Metadata for the environment.
`cfg`	Configuration for the environment.
`max_episode_length_s`	Maximum episode length in seconds.
`max_episode_length`	Maximum episode length in environment steps.
`device`	The device on which the environment is running.
`np_random`	Returns the environment's internal `_np_random` that if not set will initialise with a random seed.
`num_envs`	The number of instances of the environment that are running.
`physics_dt`	The physics time-step (in s).
`step_dt`	The environment stepping time-step (in s).
`unwrapped`	Returns the base non-wrapped environment.

Methods:

`__init__`(cfg[, render_mode])	Initialize the environment.
`load_managers`()	Load the managers for the environment.
`step`(action)	Execute one time-step of the environment's dynamics and reset terminated environments.
`render`([recompute])	Run rendering without stepping through the physics.

load_managers()[source]#

Load the managers for the environment.

This function is responsible for creating the various managers (action, observation, events, etc.) for the environment. Since the managers require access to physics handles, they can only be created after the simulator is reset (i.e. played for the first time).

Note

In case of standalone application (when running simulator from Python), the function is called automatically when the class is initialized.

However, in case of extension mode, the user must call this function manually after the simulator is reset. This is because the simulator is only reset when the user calls SimulationContext.reset_async() and it isn’t possible to call async functions in the constructor.

Reset the environments that terminated.
Compute the observations.
Return the observations, rewards, resets and extras.

class omni.isaac.lab.envs.ManagerBasedRLEnvCfg[source]#

`episode_length_s`	Duration of an episode (in seconds).
`rewards`	Reward settings.
`terminations`	Termination settings.
`curriculum`	Curriculum settings.
`commands`	Command settings.

ui_window_class_type#: alias of ManagerBasedRLEnvWindow

is_finite_horizon: bool#

Whether the learning task is treated as a finite or infinite horizon problem for the agent. Defaults to False, which means the task is treated as an infinite horizon problem.

This flag handles the subtleties of finite and infinite horizon tasks:

Finite horizon: no penalty or bootstrapping value is required by the the agent for running out of time. However, the environment still needs to terminate the episode after the time limit is reached.
Infinite horizon: the agent needs to bootstrap the value of the state at the end of the episode. This is done by sending a time-limit (or truncated) done signal to the agent, which triggers this bootstrapping calculation.

If True, then the environment is treated as a finite horizon problem and no time-out (or truncated) done signal is sent to the agent. If False, then the environment is treated as an infinite horizon problem and a time-out (or truncated) done signal is sent to the agent.

Note

The base ManagerBasedRLEnv class does not use this flag directly. It is used by the environment wrappers to determine what type of done signal to send to the corresponding learning agent.

episode_length_s: float#

Duration of an episode (in seconds).

Based on the decimation rate and physics time step, the episode length is calculated as:

episode_length_steps = ceil(episode_length_s / (decimation_rate * physics_time_step))

For example, if the decimation rate is 10, the physics time step is 0.01, and the episode length is 10 seconds, then the episode length in steps is 100.

Please refer to the omni.isaac.lab.managers.RewardManager class for more details.

viewer: ViewerCfg#: Viewer configuration. Default is ViewerCfg().

sim: SimulationCfg#: Physics simulation configuration. Default is SimulationCfg().

decimation: int#

`eye`	Initial camera position (in m).
`lookat`	Initial camera target position (in m).
`cam_prim_path`	The camera prim path to record images from.
`resolution`	The resolution (width, height) of the camera specified using `cam_prim_path`.
`origin_type`	The frame in which the camera position (eye) and target (lookat) are defined in.
`env_index`	The environment index for frame origin.
`asset_name`	The asset name in the interactive scene for the frame origin.

eye: tuple[float, float, float]#: Initial camera position (in m). Default is (7.5, 7.5, 7.5).

lookat: tuple[float, float, float]#: Initial camera target position (in m). Default is (0.0, 0.0, 0.0).

cam_prim_path: str#: The camera prim path to record images from. Default is “/OmniverseKit_Persp”, which is the default camera in the viewport.

resolution: tuple[int, int]#: The resolution (width, height) of the camera specified using cam_prim_path. Default is (1280, 720).

origin_type: Literal['world', 'env', 'asset_root']#

The frame in which the camera position (eye) and target (lookat) are defined in. Default is “world”.

Available options are:

"world": The origin of the world.
"env": The origin of the environment defined by env_index.
"asset_root": The center of the asset defined by asset_name in environment env_index.

env_index: int#

The environment index for frame origin. Default is 0.

This quantity is only effective if origin is set to “env” or “asset_root”.

asset_name: str | None#
