From c4040f00aa59204cefc78f3ac83cefc6ccb74f64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jichuanh Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 20:02:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Back OperationalSpaceController with Newton's operational-space controller Evaluate the task-space impedance, contact-wrench and null-space laws through newton.controllers.ControllerOperationalSpaceModelFree instead of the in-tree Torch implementation, keeping target resolution, the task frame and the gain schedule in Isaac Lab so the public configuration, command and output contracts are unchanged. This mirrors the JointImpedanceController port. The task frame is handed to Newton as the operational frame, so gains, selection axes and targets stay expressed in it rather than being rotated into the root frame first. That removes the root-frame gain, selection-matrix and operational-space mass-matrix buffers, and lets the per-axis gains be stored as vectors instead of diagonal matrices. Measured 2.6-2.8x faster per step than the previous Torch law (0.32 ms vs 0.88 ms at 4096 envs, 7 DoF, on one RTX PRO 6000). --- ...ton-operational-space-controller.minor.rst | 16 + .../isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py | 427 +++++++++--------- .../isaaclab/utils/leapp/export_annotator.py | 4 +- ...st_operational_space_newton_integration.py | 290 ++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 521 insertions(+), 216 deletions(-) create mode 100644 source/isaaclab/changelog.d/jichuanh-newton-operational-space-controller.minor.rst create mode 100644 source/isaaclab/test/controllers/test_operational_space_newton_integration.py diff --git a/source/isaaclab/changelog.d/jichuanh-newton-operational-space-controller.minor.rst b/source/isaaclab/changelog.d/jichuanh-newton-operational-space-controller.minor.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..ed23ba0a4fb9 --- /dev/null +++ b/source/isaaclab/changelog.d/jichuanh-newton-operational-space-controller.minor.rst @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +Changed +^^^^^^^ + +* Changed :class:`~isaaclab.controllers.OperationalSpaceController` to evaluate its task-space + impedance, contact-wrench and null-space laws through Newton's model-free operational-space + controller (:class:`newton.controllers.ControllerOperationalSpaceModelFree`), preserving its + public configuration, command, and output contracts.

The motion gains, the task frame, the desired pose and wrench, the tool state and the null-space target now bind directly, leaving the measured contact wrench as the single per-step write. Warp wrappers around caller tensors are cached per port and rebuilt only when the caller hands over a different tensor, so a caller refilling a persistent buffer pays no wrapper construction. Non-contiguous tensors are never cached, since the wrapper would alias the throwaway copy rather than the caller's storage. Per-step tensor copies drop from ten to two, and the step cost from 0.32 ms to 0.25 ms at 4096 envs (3.5x the previous Torch law, up from 2.8x). --- .../isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py | 142 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 88 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py b/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py index 9193be9f205a..5ae7957925e2 100644 --- a/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py +++ b/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py @@ -141,6 +141,8 @@ def __init__(self, cfg: OperationalSpaceControllerCfg, num_envs: int, device: st # number of controlled DOFs self._controller = None self._num_dof = None + # per-port Warp wrappers around the caller's tensors, keyed by port;

The public target attributes still read None until commanded, then name their buffer, so the sentinel is unchanged and the Warp binding cache keys stay stable. Zeroing the measured wrench on the uncommanded path must not be skipped: with closed-loop force control a stale moment left behind by a reset is read as Kp * (0 - stale) and drives torque from a command that no longer exists. The reset test now steps once while commanded before resetting, so it exercises that state; without the fix it fails by 3.21. --- .../isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py | 57 ++++++++++++------- ...st_operational_space_newton_integration.py | 32 ++++++++--- 2 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py b/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py index 5ae7957925e2..37939a3afc4b 100644 --- a/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py +++ b/source/isaaclab/isaaclab/controllers/operational_space.py @@ -89,11 +89,20 @@ def __init__(self, cfg: OperationalSpaceControllerCfg, num_envs: int, device: st # -- task frame, in root frame, the targets and control axes are defined in self._task_frame_pose_b = torch.zeros(self.num_envs, 7, device=self._device) self._task_frame_pose_b[:, 6] = 1.0 # xyzw format: identity quat is [0, 0, 0, 1] - # -- Placeholders for motion/force control + # -- Placeholders for motion/force control.
