Description

Backport of the spacemouse device from main, hand-ported for this branch's pre-codegen, pre-consolidation structure (same rationale as the gamepad 1.4.x backport). SpaceMouseTracker is hand-written
(deviceio_base interface, facade, live/replay impls, factory dispatch), and Python-side files live at src/core/retargeting_engine/python/... and src/retargeters/....

Feature set matches main: spacemouse.fbs + SpaceMouseTracker, the HID plugin (bundled via bundle_spacemouse_plugin, gated to Linux-only builds), SpaceMouseSource, and all three retargeters with
identical axis mapping/sensitivities.

Fixes #(issue)

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Testing

Same as the main-branch PR: no physical device available, verified structurally via plugin auto-launch + clean failure on absent hardware. Full retargeting_engine_tests/python/test_spacemouse.py suite
(10 tests) passes.

Checklist

  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines
  • I have run the linter and formatter with SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run --all-files
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  • I have added tests that prove my fix/feature works (or explained why not)
  • I have signed off all my commits (git commit -s) per the DCO

…1.4.x)

Backport of the spacemouse 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. SpaceMouseTracker 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/...). This
branch is based directly on release/1.4.x (not stacked on the
keyboard/gamepad 1.4.x backports), matching the standalone structure
already used for spacemouse on main.

Feature set matches main:
- spacemouse.fbs + SpaceMouseTracker: raw 3Dconnexion HID state
  (translation: [float](3), rotation: [float](3), pressed_buttons:
  [ushort]), no semantic mapping.
- spacemouse plugin: standalone Linux hidraw (/dev/hidraw*) reader,
  self-discovers its device by matching HID_NAME under
  /sys/class/hidraw/ against validated SpaceMouse-family product
  names, auto-launched by PluginManager. Decodes the same raw report
  protocol as Isaac Lab's Se2SpaceMouse/Se3SpaceMouse (report ID 1 =
  translation, report ID 2 = rotation, report ID 3 = button bitmask;
  "3Dconnexion Universal Receiver" packs both axis reports into one
  combined 13-byte report). Button state is decoded as a genuine
  bitmask rather than the legacy single-button exact-equality check,
  which is more robust under simultaneous presses while preserving
  single-press semantics. Bundled inside the wheel (isaacteleop.
  plugins.spacemouse), extending the mechanism added for the keyboard
  plugin.
- SpaceMouseSource (IDeviceIOSource) exposing "spacemouse_translation",
  "spacemouse_rotation" (3-entry float32 axis arrays) and
  "spacemouse_buttons" (8-entry button bitmap) -- axes and buttons are
  reported as-is; retargeters own all axis/button-to-action mapping.
- SpaceMouseToSe3RelRetargeter + SpaceMouseGripperRetargeter (axis
  deflection -> EE delta, left-button toggle -> gripper) and
  SpaceMouseToSe2Retargeter (axis deflection -> base velocity),
  matching the legacy Se3SpaceMouse/Se2SpaceMouse axis bindings,
  including Se2's un-inverted omega_z mapping (a faithful port of the
  legacy behavior, not a fix).

Device support is a superset of the legacy Python implementation:
Se3SpaceMouse validated 4 devices (Compact, Wireless, SpaceNavigator
for Notebooks, Universal Receiver) and Se2SpaceMouse only 2; this
plugin's device-family-agnostic discovery supports all 4, since either
retargeter can be applied to whichever device is connected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Linux SpaceMouse HID input and publishes normalized translation, rotation, button, and validity data through FlatBuffers. Live and replay trackers consume the data through MCAP channels. Python bindings expose the schema and tracker. A source node converts tracked data to tensors. SE3, gripper, and SE2 retargeters consume those tensors. CMake and package metadata stage the plugin, and an example prints device output.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b7a19

This PR adds SpaceMouse support, but the current implementation can start without telemetry, forward stale or invalid input after device problems, trigger a later cleanup failure, and require an undeclared runtime dependency. The PR should not be merged until these bounded integration and correctness risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@examples/teleop/python/spacemouse_printer_example.py`:
- Line 29: Update the plugin path setup in the example to import and use
isaacteleop.plugins.plugin_search_path() for PluginConfig.search_paths,
replacing the manually computed PLUGIN_ROOT_DIR path so TeleopSession discovers
the bundled spacemouse_plugin in both checkout and wheel layouts.

In
`@src/core/retargeting_engine/python/deviceio_source_nodes/spacemouse_source.py`:
- Around line 175-203: Update _compute_fn to treat a non-null SpaceMouseOutput
with is_valid == false as unavailable, using the existing set_none() outputs and
early return path before forwarding translation, rotation, or buttons. Add a
regression test covering an invalid replay sample and verifying all three
outputs are unset.

In `@src/plugins/spacemouse/spacemouse_plugin.cpp`:
- Around line 169-177: Update SpaceMousePlugin::close_device() to return
immediately when device_fd_ is negative, avoiding the assertion and repeated
close. When closing an active device, also reset the retained translation and
rotation state alongside pressed_buttons_ so subsequent updates cannot publish
stale motion.

In `@src/retargeters/__init__.py`:
- Around line 115-119: Update the SpaceMouseGripperRetargeter export and its
module placement so loading it does not fail without SciPy: either move the
class from spacemouse_se3_retargeter to a SciPy-free module, or change its
dependency metadata from extra=None to the retargeters-lite extra. Preserve the
existing export name and class behavior.
