Examples#

Isaac Sim provides a library of examples and demos that serves as a showcase of Isaac Sim capabilities and a learning resource for developing your own projects. Some are Interactive Examples that can be opened while the simulator is open, some are Standalone Examples for running Isaac Sim from the command line using the Standalone workflow.

Interactive Examples#

Interactive examples can be found by going to the top Menu Bar and clicking Window > Examples > Robotics Examples. A browser should appear on the bottom left of the screen, in the same space as the Isaac Sim Assets browser. Click on the Robotics Examples tab to bring the browser into view.

The examples are organized into categories shown on the left hand panel. Click through the categories and subcateogries to see the examples inside each. Click on the example thumbnail in the main browser window to load the interactive GUI on the right hand panel of the browser. Expand the “Information” tab to reveal the summary and instructions for the example.

Standalone Examples#

In addition to the interactive examples, Isaac Sim also provides standalone examples that can be run from the command line. These examples are located in the <isaac_sim_root_dir>/standalone_examples directory.

To run an example, navigate to your <isaac_sim_root_dir>, then use ./python.sh for Linux or python.bat for Windows to run the example script. For example, to run the hello_world example, navigate to the <isaac_sim_root_dir> and run the following command:

Linux

./python.sh standalone_examples/api/isaacsim.simulation_app/hello_world.py

Windows

python.bat standalone_examples\api\isaacsim.simulation_app\hello_world.py

Additional Examples#

You also find Physics Demos and Sample Scenes for Warp under the Window > Examples menu.
