Isaac Cloner [omni.isaac.cloner]

Base Cloner

class Cloner

This class provides a set of simple APIs to make duplication of objects simple. Objects can be cloned using this class to create copies of the same object, placed at user-specified locations in the scene.

Note that the cloning process is performed in a for-loop, so performance should be expected to follow linear scaling with an increase of clones.

clone(source_prim_path: str, prim_paths: List[str], positions: Optional[Union[numpy.ndarray, torch.Tensor]] = None, orientations: Optional[Union[numpy.ndarray, torch.Tensor]] = None, replicate_physics: bool = False, base_env_path: Optional[str] = None, root_path: Optional[str] = None, copy_from_source: bool = False)

Clones a source prim at user-specified destination paths.

Clones will be placed at user-specified positions and orientations.

Parameters

• source_prim_path (str) – Path of source object.

• prim_paths (List[str]) – List of destination paths.

• positions (Union[np.ndarray, torch.Tensor]) – An array containing target positions of clones. Dimension must equal length of prim_paths. Defaults to None. Clones will be placed at (0, 0, 0) if not specified.

• orientations (Union[np.ndarray, torch.Tensor]) – An array containing target orientations of clones. Dimension must equal length of prim_paths. Defaults to None. Clones will have identity orientation (1, 0, 0, 0) if not specified.

• replicate_physics (bool) – Uses omni.physics replication. This will replicate physics properties directly for paths beginning with root_path and skip physics parsing for anything under the base_env_path.

• base_env_path (str) – Path to namespace for all environments. Required if replicate_physics=True and define_base_env() not called.

• root_path (str) – Prefix path for each environment. Required if replicate_physics=True and generate_paths() not called.

• copy_from_source – (bool): Setting this to False will inherit all clones from the source prim; any changes made to the source prim will be reflected in the clones. Setting this to True will make copies of the source prim when creating new clones; changes to the source prim will not be reflected in clones. Defaults to False. Note that setting this to True will take longer to execute.

Raises

Exception – Raises exception if source prim path is not valid.
