Install Isaac Sim Extension ​

This guide walks through installing Isaac Sim 6.0.1 and the Telekinesis bridge extension. Once installed, you can set up your simulation environment, test and iterate with Telekinesis Skills.

Install Isaac Sim ​

If you already have Isaac Sim installed, you can skip to Verify below.

Install Isaac Sim 6.0.1 by following NVIDIA's Isaac Sim installation guide. See Compatibility for supported versions.

INFO

Supported platforms are Linux x86_64 and Windows x86_64.

TIP

Install Isaac Sim in its own conda environment, separate from the one where you installed telekinesis-ai. This keeps Isaac Sim's dependencies from conflicting with the Telekinesis SDK.

Launch Isaac Sim ​

Launch Isaac Sim as described in NVIDIA's installation guide. The Isaac Sim window should open:

Isaac Sim window

Install Telekinesis Isaac Sim Extension ​

Option A: Install from Extension Manager (Recommended)

  1. Go to Window ▸ ExtensionsExtensions Window

  2. Click the Settings icon (three bars) in the top right corner. Under Extension Registries, enable the NVIDIA Community Registry. If it isn't listed, click Add and paste:

  3. Search for telekinesis.isaacsim.bridge in the search bar, and click on it.

  4. The extension should appear under the Third Party tab.

  5. Click on the extension, toggle Enable and checkbox Autoload. Enable and Autoload

INFO

Use Option B if the extension isn't available in the registry or you need a specific version.

Option B: Install manually from GitHub

Use this method if the extension isn't available in the registry or you need a specific version.

  1. Download the zip matching your Isaac Sim version from GitHub Releases (e.g., telekinesis-ai-telekinesis-isaacsim-extension-windows-x86_64-v0.8.1.zip). See Compatibility for the supported extension version.

  2. Extract the zip to a permanent location:

    bash
    unzip telekinesis-ai-telekinesis-isaacsim-extension-*.zip -d ~/.cache/telekinesis/isaacsim-extension

  3. Note the full path to the extracted folder. For example:

    ~/.cache/telekinesis/isaacsim-extension/telekinesis-ai-telekinesis-isaacsim-extension-windows-x86_64-v0.8.1

  4. In Isaac Sim, go to Window ▸ Extensions

  5. Click the Settings icon (three bars) in the top right corner.

  6. Click the Add button and paste the full path to the extracted folder from step 3:

    ~/.cache/telekinesis/isaacsim-extension/telekinesis-ai-telekinesis-isaacsim-extension-windows-x86_64-v0.8.1

    Add Extension Path

  7. The extension should appear under the Third Party tab.

  8. Click on the extension, toggle Enable and checkbox Autoload. Enable and Autoload

INFO

On first enable, Kit installs a few Python dependencies automatically (requires internet access).

Verify Installation ​

1. Start the simulation ​

In the Isaac Sim window, press the Play button to start the simulation.

2. Check the bridge is running ​

On a new terminal, run:

bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:8766/status
# Expected output: {"status":"OK"}
Run your first Synapse skill in simulation
Test a manipulator or gripper skill in Isaac Sim using the bridge you just installed.
