Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Implemented a Franka arm push task where the robot must push a cube to a randomly sampled target position on a table.

Key Implementation Details:

• Added new Isaac-Push-Cube-Franka-v0 environment with joint position control
• Created MDP components: observations (object/robot positions), rewards (reaching + goal tracking), and terminations (goal reached/timeout)
• Configured PPO agents for rsl_rl, skrl, rl_games, and sb3 frameworks
• Added benchmarking test with reward threshold of 70
• Updated documentation with new task entry

Issues Found:

• Multiple naming inconsistencies where "lift" appears instead of "push" in docstrings and comments (likely copy-pasted from lift task)
• Duplicate copyright header in push_env_cfg.py
• Physics config sets bounce_threshold_velocity twice with different values (0.2 then 0.01)
• CHANGELOG version mismatch (0.46.1 vs 0.11.1)
• Agent configs reference "franka_lift" instead of "franka_push" for experiment names
• Unused os import in task registration

Confidence Score: 3/5

• Safe to merge after fixing the critical syntax errors - functionality is sound but naming/documentation issues need correction
• Score of 3 reflects that while the core implementation is correct and functional, there are multiple syntax errors from copying the lift task template that must be fixed: duplicate copyright headers, incorrect docstrings, wrong experiment names in configs, version mismatch in CHANGELOG, and a logic error with duplicate physics settings. These issues don't break functionality but affect code quality and consistency.
• Primary attention needed on push_env_cfg.py (duplicate header + physics setting), CHANGELOG (version), and agent configs (experiment names). All docstring/comment fixes are straightforward corrections.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a new manipulation task for pushing a cube with the Franka robot arm to a randomly selected target position, addressing issue #3545.

Major Changes:

• New push environment with table-based scene configuration (push_env_cfg.py)
• Custom MDP functions: rewards based on EE-to-object and object-to-goal distances, termination on goal reaching
• Franka-specific configuration with joint position control and binary gripper actions
• PPO agent configurations for rsl_rl, skrl, rl_games, and sb3 frameworks
• Robomimic BC/BCQ configurations for imitation learning support

Issues Found:
All syntax issues mentioned in previous comments have been properly identified and should be addressed (duplicate docstrings saying "lift" instead of "push", version mismatch in CHANGELOG, duplicate bounce_threshold_velocity assignment)

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge after addressing the syntax/naming issues already flagged in previous comments
• The implementation is structurally sound with correct reward/termination logic and proper agent configurations. The score is 4 (not 5) due to several syntax issues: duplicate bounce_threshold_velocity assignment (push_env_cfg.py:213), version mismatch between CHANGELOG (0.46.1) and extension.toml (0.11.1), and multiple docstrings/comments incorrectly referencing "lift" instead of "push". All issues are non-critical formatting/naming problems already identified in previous comments.
• push_env_cfg.py needs the duplicate bounce_threshold_velocity assignment fixed, and CHANGELOG.rst needs version number corrected to match extension.toml

Greptile Summary

Updates the CHANGELOG to document version 0.11.1, which adds the new Isaac-Push-Cube-Franka-v0 manipulation environment for robotic object pushing tasks.

Key Changes:

• Adds version 0.11.1 entry with new environment documentation
• Version number correctly matches extension.toml (0.11.1)

Issues Found:

• Date in CHANGELOG entry (2025-09-24) predates the actual commit date (2025-11-05)

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk after correcting the date
• The CHANGELOG update is straightforward and correctly documents the new feature. Version number matches extension.toml. Only issue is incorrect date (uses September instead of November), which is a minor documentation error that doesn't affect functionality.
• No files require special attention - just fix the date in CHANGELOG.rst
