0.4.0

Status

Deprecated

Warning

FET_004_ROBOT_PHYSX is deprecated. It is retained only so existing profile assets and external consumers can continue to resolve historical contracts. No current in-repository profile selects it. Do not add this feature to new profile versions. Use FET_003_PHYSX@0.4.0 and FET_004_PHYSX@0.4.0 instead.

Description#

The Robot PhysX Multi-Body Physics feature is the legacy robot-specific PhysX multibody contract. It bundles rigid-body, joint, articulation, and PhysX collider requirements in one feature and intentionally does not require RB.COL.001 because robot assets may use nested collision authoring patterns.

New profile versions must use FET_004_PHYSX@0.4.0 plus FET_003_PHYSX@0.4.0. The deprecated robot-specific feature is not eligible for adoption by new profiles, even when preserving a legacy asset requires compatibility validation against it.

Dependency Graph#

This feature has no JSON feature dependencies. It carries an explicit robot-specific requirement list.

Use Cases#

  • Compatibility validation for assets or external profiles whose published contract already pins this feature.

  • Existing assets whose validation metadata includes the legacy robot PhysX collider exemption.

This feature is not a valid selection for a new profile or profile version.

Version 0.4.0#

Details

Used in Profiles#

  • None documented.

Feature Dependencies#

None.

Changes From Version 0.3.0#

Version 0.4.0 keeps the Version 0.3.0 requirement list and represents the latest legacy Robot PhysX multibody contract.

Pipelines#

Source file type:

  • .urdf / .mjcf

    • Via robot conversion workflows that preserve robot link structure.

Validation or runtime pipeline:

  • SimReady validation - verifies the selected FET_004_ROBOT_PHYSX manifest.

  • SimReady Benchmark FET004 Multibody - verifies jointed robot behavior in a PhysX scene.
