@holoscript/robotics-plugin

HoloScript robotics plugin: USD/URDF codegen + ROS2/Gazebo runtime integration — part of the HoloScript ecosystem.

Author robot behaviors in HoloScript and compile to URDF for ROS2, USD for simulation, or deploy directly into a Gazebo environment. Supports VR teleoperation and digital-twin workflows.

Features

• URDF export — generate robot description files from HoloScript scenes
• USD/SDF export — Gazebo-compatible simulation assets
• ROS2 integration — publish joint states, subscribe to sensor topics
• VR teleoperation — control robots from a VR headset in real time
• Digital twins — mirror a physical robot in the HoloScript scene graph
• Gazebo launch — spawn and control simulated robots programmatically

Installation

npm install holoscript @holoscript/robotics-plugin

ROS2 bridge (optional, for live robot integration):

pip install rclpy

Usage

object "My Robot" @urdf_model @ros2_bridge {
  urdf: "robots/my_robot.urdf",
  ros2: {
    namespace: "/my_robot",
    joint_state_topic: "/joint_states",
  },
  position: [0, 0, 0],
}

Compile to URDF:

holoscript compile --target urdf scene.holo --out robot.urdf

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• HoloScript CLI or holoscript npm package
• ROS2 (Humble or later) for live robot integration
• Gazebo Fortress or later for simulation

Status

Experimental. URDF/USD codegen and Gazebo integration are functional. ROS2 live bridge is in early development. Interfaces may change.
