Robot Core

Robot core defines the robot metadata and asset structure requirements for the robot.

Requirements

Tags	Summary	Compatibility	Validator
🔑	Validates that physics attributes are authored in the physics layer.	other
🔑	Validates that physics schema are authored in the physics layer.	other
🔑	Robot assets must declare a valid robot type on the default prim. The isaac:robotType attribute must be present, must be one of the schema-defined allowed tokens, and must not be "Default". Allowed values are : “End Effector”, “Manipulator”, “Humanoid”, “Wheeled”, “Holonomic”, “Quadruped”, “Mobile Manipulators”, “Aerial”	other	CheckStage
🔑	The root joint (the first target of isaac:physics:robotJoints) must be pinned for robot types that require a fixed base (e.g. Manipulator, End Effector) and must not be pinned for other robot types.	other	CheckStage
✅	Robot USDs avoid local override layers that mask upstream schemas or physics.	other
✅	Canonical robot and prim naming conventions for stable references and tools.	other
✅	Robot USDs declare and use the required schemas and physics attributes.	other
💎	Robot asset folders contain only referenced, required files. No stray or unused content. At the main level of a robot asset, only the interface layer is present. All other required content is bundled on subfolders related to it specific usage.	other
💎	The robot interface asset file should contain a thumbnail. The thumbnail should be representative of the robot.	other
