This walkthrough showcases a beverage can pick-and-place task that uses the UR17G arm, Robotiq 2F-140 gripper, and beverage can to compose a scene in Isaac Sim, check their behavior, and run a pick-and-place example with agent-generated controls.

For robotics workflows, SimReady means an OpenUSD asset has been prepared with the properties needed for a defined simulation use case, such as collisions, mass, joints, and joint drives. SimReady Central, an open asset library on Hugging Face, lets you reuse robot and object assets with authored simulation properties and profile-validation evidence. For more about the library and its launch, read the announcement blog.

For this task, those properties include the arm and gripper’s joints and a beverage can asset collisions and mass. Validation checks these settings against the profile’s requirements. The simulation then tests whether the assembled robot can use them to pick up and move the can.
