A presenter from NVIDIA Omniverse explains how to create warehouse occupancy map files for Mobility Gen and Isaac Sim.

  1. 0:14

    Load the warehouse scene

    Open the Simple Warehouse environment and select Warehouse Multiple Shelves. The scene takes a few seconds to appear and serves as the basis for the map.

  2. 0:25

    Generate the occupancy map

    Open the Occupancy Map tool under Tools > Robotics and set the X, Y, and Z values as directed in the tutorial. Select Calculate, then visualize the image using the defaults of 180 and ROS Occupancy Map before regenerating it.

  3. 1:03

    Save the map configuration

    Create a warehouse_multiple_shelves folder under mobility_gen/data/maps and put a map.yml file inside it. Copy the configuration text from the GUI into that file and set the referenced image name to map.png.

  4. 1:26

    Save and check the image

    Save the generated image as map.png in the same environment folder as the YAML file. Check that both files are present; the image shows the warehouse from above, with obstacles marked.
