Setting up cameras, lidar, radar, acoustic, IMU, and contact sensors in Isaac Sim 6 / Kit 110 requires navigating new experimental namespaces, vendor asset catalogs, and asynchronous GMO output handling, which this Skill codifies into working patterns.
isaacsim.sensors.experimental.rtx, including the SUPPORTED_LIDAR_CONFIGS vendor catalog (Ouster, Hesai, Velodyne, Robosense) and USDA mount attachment.isaacsim.sensors.experimental.physics with correct timeline play requirements.BasicWriter, KittiWriter, CosmosWriter, PoseWriter), and domain randomization triggers.Use the isaac-sim-sensor skill to create an Ouster OS1 lidar on my robot and stream its point cloud output through a Replicator writer.

Use Lidar.create() from isaacsim.sensors.experimental.rtx with a config key from SUPPORTED_LIDAR_CONFIGS and a variant name, or reference a vendor USD asset under a mount prim and set the sensor variant set. The wrapper handles both authoring and runtime access.
Attach a Replicator Writer to the sensor rather than polling get_data each frame. RTX sensors emit GenericModelOutput asynchronously under multitick, so polling drops or duplicates frames while the Writer sees every output event.
The SUPPORTED_LIDAR_CONFIGS registry includes Ouster OS0/OS1/OS2/VLS-128, Hesai XT32 and Pandar series, Velodyne VLP/HDL, Robosense, SICK, Zvision, and NVIDIA example rotary and solid-state sensors, each with selectable variants.
Legacy isaacsim.sensors.physics and camera classes still load, but the implementation moved to the experimental namespaces. New code should use isaacsim.sensors.experimental.rtx and isaacsim.sensors.experimental.physics per the official migration guides.
Physics sensors only stream while the timeline is playing. Call app_utils.play(commit=True) or timeline.play() before invoking get_data(), otherwise the sensor produces no readings.
Author a USDA prim with the OmniSensorGenericLidarCoreAPI schema and define emitter-state arrays for azimuth, elevation, and fire time per beam. Then wrap the existing prim with Lidar(path) without a config argument.
