📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds Linux joystick gamepad capture, FlatBuffers schemas, live and replay Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds gamepad teleoperation support, but the current implementation can fail to discover the plugin, prevent non-Linux builds, continue publishing stale control input after device loss, or fail in minimal installations; reset handling also needs a small correctness fix. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Backport of the gamepad device from main, hand-ported rather than cherry-picked: this branch predates both the manifest-driven tracker codegen (trackers.toml doesn't exist here) and the consolidation of isaacteleop's Python source under src/python. GamepadTracker is therefore hand-written (deviceio_base interface, deviceio_trackers facade, live_trackers/replay_trackers impls + factory dispatch entries), following keyboard_tracker's structure exactly (itself following generic_3axis_pedal_tracker's), and the Python-side files live at this branch's pre-consolidation paths (src/core/retargeting_engine/python/..., src/retargeters/...). Feature set matches main: - gamepad.fbs + GamepadTracker: raw joystick-API state (pressed_buttons: [ushort], axes: [float]), no semantic mapping. - gamepad plugin: standalone Linux joystick (/dev/input/js*) reader, self-discovers its device under /dev/input/by-path/, auto-launched by PluginManager. Bundled inside the wheel (isaacteleop.plugins. gamepad), extending the mechanism added for the keyboard plugin. - GamepadSource (IDeviceIOSource) exposing "gamepad_buttons" (32-entry button bitmap) and "gamepad_axes" (fixed-size axis array) -- buttons and axes are reported as-is; retargeters own all button/axis-to-action mapping. - GamepadToSe3RelRetargeter + GamepadGripperRetargeter (stick/dpad -> EE delta, X-button toggle -> gripper) and GamepadToSe2Retargeter (stick -> base velocity), matching the legacy Se3Gamepad/Se2Gamepad key bindings. Axis/button indices assume a typical Xbox-style pad under the Linux xpad driver; not yet validated against physical hardware. Signed-off-by: Rafael Wiltz <rwiltz@nvidia.com>

while preserving the existing gamepad plugin name and ID.
In `@src/plugins/gamepad/gamepad_plugin.cpp`:

The legacy Isaac Lab Se3Gamepad dead-zoned all stick axes before scaling, but GamepadToSe3RelRetargeterConfig had no dead_zone field, so small stick jitter/drift was never suppressed for SE3 (unlike SE2, which already dead-zones). Add the same dead_zone field and filtering used by GamepadToSe2RetargeterConfig. Signed-off-by: Rafael Wiltz <rwiltz@nvidia.com>

Description
Backport of the gamepad device from main, hand-ported rather than cherry-picked: this branch predates both the manifest-driven tracker codegen and the consolidation of isaacteleop's Python source under
src/python. GamepadTracker is therefore hand-written (deviceio_base interface, deviceio_trackers facade, live_trackers/replay_trackers impls + factory dispatch entries), following keyboard_tracker's
structure, and the Python-side files live at this branch's pre-consolidation paths (src/core/retargeting_engine/python/..., src/retargeters/...).
Feature set matches main:
bundle_gamepad_pluginCMake mechanism used for keyboard, gated to Linux-onlybuilds.

Verified live on real hardware (Xbox controller), same coverage as the main-branch PR. Full retargeting_engine_tests/python/test_gamepad.py suite passes.
