Learn OpenUSD: Robotics Best Practices

In this course, we will be expanding on the concepts of assets from our previous Learn OpenUSD courses and applying them within the domain of robotics. We’ll learn about the benefits of a robot asset structure in OpenUSD and learn best practices by studying the asset structure utilized by the URDF Importer in Isaac Sim. We will gain insights on various optimizations that can be performed on a robot asset and experiment with the different techniques like mesh merging and instancing. Lastly, we will assemble the robot asset and an environment to construct a robot training scene.
Prerequisite(s):

An understanding of fundamental programming concepts in Python 3 such as functions, loops, dictionaries and arrays and Python 3 related libraries.
