Physics Demo Franka Nut and Bolt
Overview
Securing a nut onto a bolt is a challenging task for a robot. It requires, among other things, the ability to detect collisions between arbitrary shapes, like threads. With Omniverse, you can simulate these types of complex robotic interactions.
This demo is a real-time simulation of Franka Emika robotic arms manipulating nuts and bolts.
