Gamepad Manipulation

About

The Gamepad Manipulation Extension enables an XBox Controller to interact with a simulation in Omniverse Isaac Sim. Use this extension to map inputs from the gamepad controller to different control states of the simulation.

Note

This extension requires an XBox controller to run. Other gamepads may function, however their bindings may be different than in this extension.

This extension is enabled by default. If it is ever disabled, it can be re-enabled from the Extension Manager by searching for omni.isaac.gamepad.
