SurfaceGripperComponent

Fully qualified name: isaacsim::robot::surface_gripper::SurfaceGripperComponent

class SurfaceGripperComponent : public isaacsim::core::includes::ComponentBase<pxr::UsdPrim>

Component class for managing Surface Gripper functionality.

This class represents a surface gripper component that can be attached to a robot to enable gripping functionality. It manages the D6 joints that act as attachment points for the gripper.

Public Functions

SurfaceGripperComponent() = default

Default constructor.

virtual ~SurfaceGripperComponent() = default

Virtual destructor.

virtual void initialize(

const pxr::UsdPrim &prim,

const pxr::UsdStageWeakPtr stage,

)

Initializes the surface gripper component.

Parameters:

• prim – [in] USD prim representing the surface gripper

• stage – [in] USD stage containing the prim

virtual void onComponentChange()

Called when component properties change.

Updates the gripper’s configuration when component properties are modified

virtual void onStart()

Called when the gripper starts.

virtual void onPhysicsStep(double dt)

Called each physics step to update gripper state.

virtual void preTick()

Called before each tick to prepare sensor state.

virtual void tick()

Called each tick to update the gripper state.

virtual void onStop()

Called when the gripper stops.

virtual bool setGripperStatus(const std::string &status)

Sets the gripper status to open or closed.

Parameters:

status – [in] New status for the gripper (“Open” or “Closed”)

Returns:

True if the status was changed successfully

inline std::string getGripperStatus() const

Gets the current status of the gripper.

Returns:

Current status (“Open” or “Closed”)

inline std::string getPrimPath() const

Gets the prim path of this gripper.

Returns:

The USD prim path as a string

inline std::vector<std::string> getGrippedObjects() const

Gets the list of currently gripped objects.

Returns:

Vector of prim paths for gripped objects

inline virtual void onPhysicsStep(float dt)

Called during each physics simulation step.

Override this to implement physics-based behavior

Parameters:

dt – [in] Time step size in seconds

inline virtual void onRenderEvent()

Called for each rendered frame.

Override this to implement render-specific behavior or visual updates

inline virtual void updateTimestamp(

double timeSeconds,

double dt,

int64_t timeNano,

)

Updates the component’s internal timing information.

Maintains synchronized timing state across the component

Parameters:

• timeSeconds – [in] Current simulation time in seconds

• dt – [in] Time step size in seconds

• timeNano – [in] Current simulation time in nanoseconds

inline pxr::UsdPrim &getPrim()

Retrieves the component’s USD prim.

Returns:

Reference to the component’s USD prim

inline bool getEnabled()

Checks if the component is enabled.

Returns:

true if the component is enabled, false otherwise

inline uint64_t getSequenceNumber()

Gets the component’s sequence number.

Returns:

The component’s sequence number
