RealityKit Flat

Published

Observe the RealityKit physics engine stabilizing a complex multi-layered hierarchy loaded organically from a URDF file.

A fix that keeps complex simulations stable: RealityKit expects physics entities in a “flat” hierarchy — every body a direct child of the root — rather than the nested tree a classical dynamics derivation suggests. After restructuring the model assembly, simulations of complex URDF robots no longer “blow up,” even in spatial reality mode.
