Isaac Lab publishes browser demos v3 with on-screen joysticks for G1

SUMMARY

The Isaac Lab repository on GitHub lists a new pre-release, browser-demos-v3, released on 13 October. The release updates the browser demos for MicroDuck, G1 and ANYmal-D. They gain transparent joysticks inside the viewport, along with compact pause and reset controls.

The release notes also describe how MicroDuck behaves. It starts out standing. Dragging the robot applies a fixed horizontal push of 2 N, and dragging the background orbits the camera instead. Releasing the mouse or touch, cancelling it, or losing focus ends the interaction.

The notes describe the browser-demos-v3 release as a UI-only update. It reuses the original physics, policy and geometry files, and the notes state that no simulation rebuild is required. The release archive includes the unchanged v1/ and v2/ payloads as well as v3/, and the notes say all three are to be deployed. Compared with the previous compressed archive, it adds about 28 KB.

For validation, the notes report that all twelve demos stepped with finite state and no JavaScript errors. They list MicroDuck standing, walking and turning, fixed-force mouse and touch pushes, camera orbit, two simultaneous touch joysticks, cancellation, pause and reset, and the mobile layout as passed. They add that simulation timing stayed near real time in the measured run, and that third-party licence notices are retained.
