From 6a18beabefa9564d9b66c93fd671a8c7a4548601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johnny Nunez Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 01:28:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Couple the gripper fingers and repair the USD regeneration pipeline The gripper jaws drift on their own whenever the arm moves. This is an asset defect, not a solver one: it reproduces identically in PhysX, Newton and MuJoCo because all three read the same authored gains. Two independent causes, both fixed here. 1. The fingers were 9,248x softer than the actuator they model. Every arm joint sits at zeta 18-49 (overdamped) while the fingers were at K = 100 N/m, zeta = 0.685, f_n = 5.45 Hz -- underdamped, so any teleop motion excites them. They sagged 7.4 mm under gravity alone (14.75% of the 50 mm stroke) and peaked 2.3 mm during an arm sweep. The new gains come from the hardware, not from tuning. Motor 7 is a RobStride whose limit_torque reads 14 Nm live from the firmware over CAN; it drives both racks through one pinion of r = 7.353 mm/rad (derived from the calibrated 0 -> -6.8 rad travel over the 50 mm stroke). Reflecting the motor's 50 Nm/rad through that transmission gives K = 50/r^2 = 925 kN/m and F = 14/r = 1904 N at the finger. 925 kN/m is far above what the solver can integrate at 1/120 s, so the drive is capped at the stiffest gain that stays smooth, with damping set for zeta = 1.0. Same reasoning for the limits: effort 500 -> 1904 N, and maxVelocity 10 -> 0.243 m/s (10 m/s was ~41x faster than the motor's 33 rad/s can drive the fingers). 2. The fingers were modelled as two independent DOFs. The real gripper is one motor, one pinion and two opposed racks (hardware BOM ships 02_Rack.step x2), so finger travel is rigidly 1:1. The asset gave the solver a degree of freedom the robot does not have, which is why the jaws could separate at all. USD now authors PhysxMimicJointAPI on joint_right referencing joint_left, and the MJCF authors the equivalent . Note PhysX constrains q_follower + gearing * q_leader + offset = 0, so gearing = -1 is what makes the two coordinates EQUAL -- the finger axes are already antiparallel in the parent frame. Using +1 yields q_right = -q_left, which looks perfectly symmetric while collapsing to the wrong opening; MuJoCo hides this and only running both engines catches it. The MJCF equality uses the standard positive solref form (0.004 1, timeconst = 2*dt). Direct constraint gains (negative solref) couple ~11x tighter in MuJoCo but make Newton's SolverMuJoCo diverge to NaN, and this model is published for both engines. The URDF's asymmetric finger limits are also corrected: joint_left allowed 0-0.05 m and joint_right 0-0.0715 m. Both fingers use the same mesh, their travel axes are exactly antiparallel (dot product -1.000000) and their origins sit 0.147 mm apart, so the stroke is symmetric and 0.0715 was an authoring error -- it also made a 1:1 coupling impossible to express. Pipeline repairs this depends on -------------------------------- prep_asset.py could not run at all on main. #18 renamed the payload layers (base.usda -> RS-rebot-dev-arm_base.usd, physics.usda -> RS-rebot-dev-arm_physics.usd) without updating the script, so it died in its first function with AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetPrimAtPath'. The five stale paths and the ./instances.usda re-anchor are fixed, so the USD is regenerable again. Physics=none was not neutral. The physics payload was attached to the root prim as well as inside the variant, so it composed in every selection and the "no physics" variant still carried 10 colliders and 10 rigid bodies -- the exact condition prep_asset.py already asserted against, and a SimReady Robot-Body Neutral requirement. Removing the duplicate root-prim payload leaves the variant as the only opinion. Physics=none now composes zero colliders and zero rigid bodies, while physics and mujoco keep their 10 (7 convexHull, 3 convexDecomposition). The gain assertions compared floats with ==, which only held while every authored gain was integral; USD stores them as float32, so 41.28 reads back as 41.279998779296875. They now compare with a tolerance. verify() additionally asserts the mimic survives regeneration, so the coupling cannot be silently lost. Validation ---------- Isaac Sim 6.1 (PhysX), headless, articulation loaded from the asset: PhysxMimicJointAPI:Z composed, reference=joint_left, gearing=-1.0 static : finger dev 0.00006 mm asym 0.00011 mm slewing : finger dev 0.00629 mm asym 0.01204 mm MuJoCo, same experiment: dev 0.017 mm, asym 0.034 mm, neq=1. validate_physics_fidelity.py: failures: [], 10 links and 8 joints checked across the physics and mujoco variants, with the compiled-MJCF cross-check running (mujoco 3.10.0) rather than skipped. prep_asset.py: all three variants verify and re-running is a byte-level no-op. build_mjcf.py regenerates rebot_devarm.xml byte-identical to the committed file. Improvement, measured within each engine on the same experiment (upstream/main's asset vs this one), arm sweeping joint1 +/-0.4 rad and joint2 +/-0.2 rad: Isaac Sim 6.1 / PhysX MuJoCo 3.10 slew before after slew before after 0.25Hz 0.283mm 0.0064mm 0.25Hz 0.886mm 0.017mm 0.50Hz 0.580mm 0.0128mm 0.50Hz 1.900mm 0.033mm 1.00Hz 1.338mm 0.0305mm 1.00Hz 1.792mm 0.066mm 2.00Hz 3.428mm 0.0687mm 2.00Hz 2.159mm 0.147mm 4.00Hz 5.760mm 0.1353mm 8.00Hz 6.797mm 0.2526mm Roughly 44x across the range in PhysX and 15-57x in MuJoCo. The fingers are not motionless -- deviation grows with slew rate -- but the improvement holds at every speed rather than only at gentle ones, and the degradation is gradual with no instability threshold. At 8 Hz, well beyond any teleop rate, the residual 0.25 mm is 0.5% of the 50 mm stroke; the unfixed asset exceeded 1% of stroke by 0.5 Hz. Static gravity sag goes from 7.375 mm to ~0. For reference the physical gripper, unpowered, reads 268.5 urad of encoder noise (0.00197 mm at the finger), so the fixed asset sits 3x that floor at 0.25 Hz and 128x at 8 Hz. Why the jaws move at all is documented in usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/docs/GRIPPER_RESIDUAL_MOTION.md, since a single motor holding them is a reasonable reason to expect zero. In short: it is not drive compliance (16x stiffer changes 0.1516 -> 0.1459 mm, and the actuator uses 0.88 N of 1904 N), and it is not coupling softness (tightening solref past the shipped 0.004 changes nothing). With the arm held still the deviation is 0.00000 mm; it appears only under wrist acceleration, and gets worse when the ARM tracks better (0.147 mm at shipped gains, 0.774 mm at 16x) because a stiffer arm accelerates the wrist harder. The jaws have mass, so dx = m*a/K -- ordinary rigid-body mechanics. The drive must ship at 5 kN/m rather than the motor's reflected 925 kN/m (50 N*m/rad over a 7.353 mm/rad pinion) because the real value diverges at dt = 1/120 s. At the real stiffness the same accelerations give 0.0001-0.0010 mm, below the 0.00197 mm encoder noise floor -- so the physical gripper does not move measurably, and the simulated residual is a timestep budget, not an asset parameter. Deviation falls with dt (1/240 s, 1/480 s, 1/960 s measured), which is the knob for anyone needing sub-0.01 mm fidelity. The README gripper-limit tables are corrected alongside: they still documented joint_right's 0.0715 m upper limit, which this change replaces with the measured symmetric 0.05 m on both fingers. Follow-up measurements on the physical arm (RobStride motor 7 over can0, MIT mode, after writing and verifying the official MotorBridge Studio parameter template) refine that note further, and refute two plausible fixes: breakaway torque 0.100 N*m -> 13.6 N at the finger closed-loop K 66,759 N/m at kp=3 N*m/rad (median of 12 plateaus, 64,800-69,900, 4% spread; theory kp/r^2 = 55,487, so 1.20x) backlash +/-0.37 mm, both directions free from a closed stop Real friction exceeds the inertial load on the jaws by 14-130x, so the physical gripper cannot be shifted by wrist acceleration at all. Writing that friction into the asset was tested and makes the simulation WORSE (2 Hz: 0.1466 -> 0.1832 mm), because in sim the joint is driven by the coupling constraint, and friction cannot oppose a constraint -- it only makes the solver push harder. Measuring the internal forces shows the constraint applies more force than the actuator (1.207 N vs 0.877 N at 2 Hz) and accounts for 43% of the residual (disabling it: 0.1466 -> 0.0840 mm). It is already saturated: solref from 0.004 down to 0.0002 gives an identical 0.1466 mm. Loosening solimp lowers the number only by weakening the coupling, which is not a fix. That leaves the integration rate, which converges cleanly as 1/dt from the asset's native 500 Hz (0.1466 mm at 2 Hz) to 4000 Hz (0.0195 mm), with the 1:1 coupling exact (|left-right| = 0.00000 mm) at every rate. Conclusion: no asset parameter changes. The mechanism model is correct, and the residual is a documented solver floor rather than a defect. Only the note, its evidence and the measurement scripts are added. Three properties of third_party/reBotArm_control_py are documented alongside, since they cost several failed runs and silently corrupt measurements: * send_mit() is ignored unless ensure_mode(Mode.MIT) is called first. No error is raised; measured torque simply never tracks the command (a 0.05 -> 2.0 N*m ramp produced a flat -0.13 N*m). run_mode is 0x7005, read as i8. * send_pos_vel(pos, vlim) does not carry vlim in the command frame -- it writes parameter 0x7017 (limit_spd). mode_pos_vel() likewise writes 0x7017, 0x701E, 0x701F and 0x7020 from the library YAML, overwriting the vendor's calibrated per-joint template without warning. * position-mode stall detection is not viable at the 40 Hz feedback rate: the drive goes from free to hard stop within one sample, so a 1.0 N*m threshold was never observed (consecutive samples read ~0 then -3.76 N*m). Five scripts reproduce every table: measure_gripper_stiffness.py and measure_gripper_breakaway.py need the arm (both take --dry-run, which exercises the full path against live telemetry without enabling the motor); sweep_gripper_friction.py, sweep_coupling_constraint.py and sweep_timestep_convergence.py are simulation-only. All resolve their paths relative to the repo and were verified from a clean working directory. SimReady conformance -------------------- Validated with the official simready-validate from NVIDIA/simready-foundation. Robot-Body-Neutral now PASSES; it failed on upstream/main before this change. Making Physics=none genuinely neutral had to be reconciled with SimReady ISA.001, which requires the _physics.usd payload on the default prim in the ROOT layer (isaac_sim/composition/validation.py reads prim_spec.payloadList directly, so a payload authored inside a variant does not count). A root-prim payload composes under every selection, so the two requirements pull opposite ways. The variant now subtracts what the payload adds: inside Physics=none the /Physics scope and the collision instances are deactivated and the body-level physics API schemas are stripped. ISA.001 keeps its payload and the neutral selection composes to plain geometry. Three upstream problems were found while doing this and are reported in NVIDIA/simready-foundation#18: - DJ.001 crashes on any joint carrying PhysxMimicJointAPI: validation.py lines 258 and 535 call .Get() on a float that lines 256-257 already resolved. Only reachable with a coupled mechanism, which is why it had gone unnoticed. - DJ.007 only accepts rotational mimic axes (rotX/rotY/rotZ), so no linear coupled gripper can satisfy it, even though UsdPhysics defines transX/Y/Z and PhysX's own Newton migration checker documents prismatic mimic support. - DJ.004 wants zero drive gains on a mimic follower. That is correct for a revolute pair, but measurements in Isaac Sim show PhysX does not enforce PhysxMimicJointAPI on a PRISMATIC joint at all -- removing the API entirely gives numbers identical to four decimal places, and with zero gains the fingers drift 51.5 mm, far worse than the 2.3 mm bug this fixes. The follower therefore keeps its drive: Newton and MuJoCo honour the constraint, PhysX is carried by the drive. The PhysicsScene is no longer authored by the asset. RC.005 rejects physics attributes authored in the interface layer, and SimReady's own reference robot (sample_content/.../Robotiq/2F-85) ships without one. Three placements were measured and none satisfies every constraint at once: interface layer /PhysicsScene composes, fails RC.005 physics layer /PhysicsScene never composes (a payload arc maps only the defaultPrim subtree) physics layer /PhysicsScene composes and passes RC.005, but leaks into any stage referencing the robot Gravity belongs to the stage that loads the robot: Isaac Sim, Newton and MuJoCo all supply it. verify() and validate_physics_fidelity.py now assert the asset does NOT author a scene, so a future re-export cannot reintroduce a hardcoded gravity that fights the host. Three environment problems made earlier SimReady results unreliable, and are worth knowing before re-running the validator: - The stock validate venv installs usd-exchange, whose pxr does not ship PhysxSchema. Every rule touching it reports "PhysxSchema is not available in this environment" as a FAILURE rather than skipping -- 161 such messages here. DJ.002 and DJ.003 were false negatives. - RC.007 and DJ.008/009/010 import usd.schema.isaac, which ships with the Isaac Sim build rather than the validator. Without it they abort with "No module named 'usd.schema.isaac'" before inspecting the asset. All four pass once it is on the path. - RC.001 and RC.004 need omni.client; without it they raise "module 'omni' has no attribute 'client'". Both still report that here, so their status is unknown rather than failing: the asset root holds only the interface layer (what RC.001 wants) and .thumbs/256x256/RS-rebot-dev-arm.usda.png exists (what RC.004 wants). --- README.md | 2 +- README_EN.md | 2 +- README_ES.md | 2 +- mjcf/rebot_devarm/build_mjcf.py | 31 ++- mjcf/rebot_devarm/rebot_devarm.xml | 9 +- .../urdf/00-arm-rs_asm-v3.urdf | 10 +- usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/RS-rebot-dev-arm.usda | 120 +++++++++- .../docs/GRIPPER_RESIDUAL_MOTION.md | 205 ++++++++++++++++ usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/docs/VALIDATION.md | 7 + usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/breakaway.json | 6 + .../evidence/compliance_analysis.json | 54 +++++ .../evidence/constraint_sweep.json | 142 +++++++++++ .../evidence/friction_sweep.json | 57 +++++ usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/mechanism.json | 39 +++ .../evidence/mit_calibration.json | 105 ++++++++ .../evidence/residual_cause.json | 76 ++++++ usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/slew_sweep.csv | 7 + .../evidence/timestep_convergence.json | 50 ++++ .../payloads/RS-rebot-dev-arm_physics.usd | 41 ++-- .../scripts/measure_gripper_breakaway.py | 207 ++++++++++++++++ .../scripts/measure_gripper_stiffness.py | 225 ++++++++++++++++++ usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/prep_asset.py | 210 +++++++++++++--- .../scripts/sweep_coupling_constraint.py | 142 +++++++++++ .../scripts/sweep_gripper_friction.py | 150 ++++++++++++ .../scripts/sweep_timestep_convergence.py | 129 ++++++++++ .../scripts/validate_physics_fidelity.py | 26 +- 26 files changed, 1974 insertions(+), 80 deletions(-) create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/docs/GRIPPER_RESIDUAL_MOTION.md create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/breakaway.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/compliance_analysis.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/constraint_sweep.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/friction_sweep.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/mechanism.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/mit_calibration.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/residual_cause.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/slew_sweep.csv create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/evidence/timestep_convergence.json create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/measure_gripper_breakaway.py create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/measure_gripper_stiffness.py create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/sweep_coupling_constraint.py create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/sweep_gripper_friction.py create mode 100644 usd/RS-rebot-dev-arm/scripts/sweep_timestep_convergence.py diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index dc2f904..01e0468 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -221,7 +221,7 @@ UDP JSON，端口 `127.0.0.1:5005`。 | `gripper_position` | float | 夹爪指位置目标（m），各发送端有各自的换算方式（见下表） | **夹爪控制链：** -接收端将收到的 `gripper_position` 直接作为左右两个滑动关节的位置目标，并按各指裁剪到 `[0, 上限]`（USD 上限：`joint_left` 0.05 m，`joint_right` 0.0715 m）。接收端不做额外缩放。各发送端到 `gripper_position` 的换算如下： +接收端将收到的 `gripper_position` 直接作为左右两个滑动关节的位置目标，并按各指裁剪到 `[0, 上限]`（USD 上限：两指均为 0.05 m；两指由同一电机通过单个小齿轮驱动，行程严格 1:1）。接收端不做额外缩放。各发送端到 `gripper_position` 的换算如下： | 发送端 | 到 `gripper_position`（m）的换算 | |------|------| diff --git a/README_EN.md b/README_EN.md index e9dca3b..51dbceb 100644 --- a/README_EN.md +++ b/README_EN.md @@ -221,7 +221,7 @@ UDP JSON on `127.0.0.1:5005`. | `gripper_position` | float | Gripper finger position target (m); each sender computes it with its own mapping (see below) | **Gripper control chain:** -The receiver applies the received `gripper_position` directly as the position target of both prismatic finger joints, clipped per finger to `[0, upper limit]` (USD upper limits: `joint_left` 0.05 m, `joint_right` 0.0715 m).

Call `motor.ensure_mode(Mode.MIT, 1000)` first, which — +unlike `mode_pos_vel()` — writes no gains, and restore `Mode.POS_VEL` in a +`finally`. + +**`send_pos_vel(pos, vlim)` persists `vlim` into the motor.** It is not carried +in the command frame; it is written to parameter `0x7017` (`limit_spd`), as +`example/0x01rs06_test.py` shows. Likewise `mode_pos_vel()` calls +`_write_pv_params()`, which writes `0x7017`, `0x701E` (`loc_kp`), `0x701F` +(`spd_kp`) and `0x7020` (`spd_ki`) from the library YAML, overwriting the +vendor's calibrated template without warning. Detect it by reading parameters +from all seven joints and comparing — joints your scripts never touched still +hold the factory values. Repair through MotorBridge Studio (Read Parameters → +Apply Default Template → Write Parameters), which verifies by read-back; note +the template is **per-joint, not uniform**, so do not "restore" one joint by +copying another's. `limit_spd` is not part of the template and must be restored +separately. + +**Position-mode stall detection is not viable at this feedback rate.** The +type-`0x18` broadcast arrives at 40 Hz (25.01 ms, stdev 0.27 ms) while the drive +goes from free to hard stop in less than one sample interval: a 1.0 N·m stall +threshold was never observed, with consecutive samples reading ≈0 then +−3.76 N·m. Torque mode avoids the problem entirely, since the commanded torque +bounds the effort by construction rather than by reaction time. + +Guards that follow from the above, for any contact-seeking move on this arm: +probe the direction with a small step before ramping (a calibration note is a +hypothesis, not a fact), size that step above the ±0.37 mm backlash or "both +directions free" will mislead you, cap the torque well below the motor's 14 N·m, +treat a constant-zero torque after motion as a latched fault rather than +stillness, and get a camera on the robot when the operator cannot see it. + +Raw data: `evidence/mit_calibration.json` (stiffness, real hardware), +`evidence/breakaway.json` (friction, real hardware), +`evidence/friction_sweep.json`, `evidence/constraint_sweep.json`, +`evidence/timestep_convergence.json`, `evidence/compliance_analysis.json`, +`evidence/residual_cause.json`, `evidence/mechanism.json`, +`evidence/slew_sweep.csv`. + +Scripts that produce it, all runnable from a clone: + +| script | what it measures | needs the arm | +|---|---|---| +| `scripts/measure_gripper_stiffness.py` | closed-loop stiffness, MIT mode | yes | +| `scripts/measure_gripper_breakaway.py` | breakaway torque | yes | +| `scripts/sweep_gripper_friction.py` | residual vs `frictionloss` | no | +| `scripts/sweep_coupling_constraint.py` | residual vs `solref` / `solimp` | no | +| `scripts/sweep_timestep_convergence.py` | residual vs integration rate | no | + +The two hardware scripts take `--dry-run`, which exercises the whole path +against live telemetry without enabling the motor.
