Add G1 AGILE tabletop apple-to-plate environment (#562)
## Problem IsaacLab-Arena needs a tabletop manipulation task where the G1 robot uses the WBC-AGILE locomotion policy to pick up an apple and place it on a plate, while balancing in place. Ref: ISAAC-12630 ## Solution Add a new `G1AgileTabletopAppleToPlateEnvironment` that wires the `G1WBCAgileJointEmbodiment` (from PR #489) with the existing `PickAndPlaceTask`, a Seattle Lab table scene, and appropriate object assets. ## Changes - **`isaaclab_arena_environments/g1_agile_tabletop_apple_to_plate_environment.py`** — New environment class: G1 robot at (-0.4, 0, 0) facing a table with an apple (pick object) and a clay plate (target). Uses `G1WBCAgileJointEmbodiment` for balance + upper body control. 30-second episodes. Supports `--object`, `--embodiment`, `--teleop_device` CLI args. - **`isaaclab_arena_environments/cli.py`** — Register the new environment in the `ExampleEnvironments` dict. - **`isaaclab_arena/tests/test_g1_agile_tabletop_apple_to_plate.py`** — Two tests: (1) initial state is not terminated (apple starts away from plate), (2) teleporting apple onto plate triggers success termination. Uses correct base-height command (0.75) to keep the robot stable. ## Testing - [x] New unit tests added (2 tests) - [x] Linters pass locally (black, flake8, isort, pyupgrade, codespell, license headers) - [ ] CI pipeline (tests require Isaac Sim Docker with GPU) ## Notes - Object positions (apple, plate, robot) are based on Seattle Lab table geometry and G1 arm reach. May need visual tuning in simulator. - No new task class needed — the existing `PickAndPlaceTask` handles contact-sensor success detection, object-dropped termination, and metrics. - Self-review caught and fixed a test issue: the initial-state test was sending zero base-height commands, which would cause the robot to squat. Fixed to use 0.75 (matching established pattern from `test_g1_wbc_embodiment.py`). --- *Generated by [autodev](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) — Claude Code* --------- Signed-off-by: Lionel Gulich <lgulich@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
