Isaac Sim Suction Gripper Setup ​

SUMMARY

This guide walks through connecting SuctionGripper, a vacuum end-effector modelled entirely in Isaac Sim with no hardware driver behind it, to a prim in a running Isaac Sim stage.

There is no Hardware Setup for this gripper as it's exclusively modelled for Nvidia Isaac Sim.

Simulation Setup ​

Start Isaac Sim with the bridge extension ​

Launch Isaac Sim with the telekinesis.isaacsim.bridge extension enabled and the timeline playing.

Connect the gripper from Synapse ​

Finish the installation first
Install telekinesis-synapse first to run any robotics skill.

python
from telekinesis.synapse.tools.suction_grippers import custom

gripper = custom.SuctionGripper()
gripper.connect(simulation_prim_path="/World/suction_gripper")
gripper.disconnect()
