Description

The MJCF importer previously treated the entire <worldbody> as a single articulation regardless of structure. Now each direct child <body> of <worldbody> gets its own articulation when parent_body is not specified (non-hierarchical composition).

Closes #736

What changed

  • Track per-root-body joint boundaries during MJCF parsing (root_body_boundaries list)
  • At finalization, create one articulation per root body instead of a single monolithic articulation
  • Handle bodies inside worldbody-level <frame> elements as separate root bodies too
  • Multi-root articulations are labeled model_name/body_name; single-root behavior is unchanged

What is preserved

  • Single-root-body MJCFs: Identical output (one articulation, same label)
  • Hierarchical composition (parent_body != -1): All joints go to parent's articulation unchanged
  • Actuators/tendons/equality constraints: Reference joints by name, unaffected by articulation boundaries

Newton Migration Guide

  • The migration guide in docs/migration.rst is up-to date

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Necessary tests have been added and new examples are tested (see newton/tests/test_examples.py)
  • Documentation is up-to-date
  • Code passes formatting and linting checks with pre-commit run -a

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Importer now detects multiple root bodies in a model and splits them into separate articulations (one per root) while preserving single-articulation behavior when attached under a parent or hierarchical composition.
    • Articulation labels now include root body names for clearer identification.
  • Tests

    • Added tests covering multi-root articulation creation, free-joint handling, labeling, floating-option behavior, and parent-hierarchy preservation.

The MJCF importer previously treated the entire <worldbody> as a
single articulation regardless of structure. Now each direct child
<body> of <worldbody> gets its own articulation when parent_body is
not specified (non-hierarchical composition).

Single-root-body MJCFs and hierarchical composition are unchanged.

Closes newton-physics#736

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Tracks root-body boundaries during MJCF frame traversal and splits the resulting import into separate articulations per root body when multiple roots exist, preserving previous single-articulation behavior for hierarchical or parent-attached models.

Core MJCF import logic
newton/_src/utils/import_mjcf.py
Adds track_root_boundaries parameter to process_frames; collects root-body boundary indices during worldframe traversal; propagates root_body_boundaries through site/body/init flows; extends articulation-finalization to create multiple articulations (one per root boundary) with labels articulation_label/body_name when appropriate.
MJCF multi-root tests
newton/tests/test_import_mjcf.py
Adds TestMjcfMultiRootArticulations test class with tests for separate articulations per worldbody root, free-joint and floating interactions, articulation labeling, and parent-attached single-articulation behavior. (Duplicate test block present in diff.)

1816-1825: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Ignored root bodies are still counted in boundary tracking, potentially altering articulation labels.

When a root body matches ignore_classes, parse_body returns early (line 1190-1191), but the boundary at line 1818 is already recorded. This inflates len(root_body_boundaries), which can flip the <= 1 check on line 2451 into the multi-root path even when only one root body is actually imported — changing the articulation label from "model" to "model/body_name".

The test added in response to the prior review (test_multi_root_with_ignore_classes) only covers 3 roots with 1 ignored (still multi-root). The 2-root/1-ignored edge case (should degrade to single-root behavior) remains unguarded.

Suggested fix: skip ignored bodies before recording the boundary

1114-1116: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Skip ignored bodies when recording root boundaries.

At Line 1114 and Line 1821, boundaries are recorded before parse_body() applies ignore_classes. If ignored roots are counted, Line 2455 can incorrectly take the multi-root path and change labels from model to model/body even when only one root is actually imported.

Duplicate comments:
In `@newton/_src/utils/import_mjcf.py`:
- Around line 1114-1116: The code records root_body_boundaries for child_body
before parse_body() can apply ignore_classes, causing ignored roots to be
counted; change both sites that append to root_body_boundaries (the block using
sanitize_name(child_body.attrib.get(...)) and the similar block at the other
location) to only record boundaries for bodies that will actually be imported:
either move the append until after calling parse_body(child_body, ...) and only
append if parse_body did not skip/return None, or pre-check the same ignore
logic (e.g., check child_body.attrib.get("class") against ignore_classes) and
skip appending when the body is ignored; update references to builder.body_count
and joint_indices accordingly so boundaries reflect only non-ignored roots.

---

Nitpick comments:
In `@newton/tests/test_import_mjcf.py`:
- Around line 6911-7105: Add a new unit test in TestMjcfMultiRootArticulations
that exercises the importer path where root bodies are nested under a
worldbody-level <frame> element (i.e., create an MJCF string with
<worldbody><frame name="...">...<body
name="...">...</body>...</frame></worldbody>), call builder.add_mjcf(...) (using
the same floating and ignore_classes variants used in existing tests), finalize
the model, and assert that articulation splitting behaves the same as for direct
worldbody children by checking articulation_count via
len(model.articulation_start.numpy()) - 1, model.joint_count and
joint_articulation grouping (use the same pattern as
test_multi_root_bodies_separate_articulations and
test_multi_root_with_free_joints); place the test method alongside the other
tests in the TestMjcfMultiRootArticulations class so it runs as a regression for
the frame-rooted case.
- Around line 6947-6951: The assertions are order-dependent; instead of assuming
joints 0-1 belong to robot_a and 2-3 to robot_b, group joints by a stable
identifier (e.g. joint label/name or root body id) and assert articulation
equality within each group and inequality between groups. Concretely, compute a
mapping from joint index to its label or root (using model.joint_names or
model.joint_body/root if available), build groups for robot_a and robot_b by
those labels, then assert all joint_art values are equal within each group (e.g.
set(joint_art[idx] for idx in group) has size 1) and that the representative
articulation ids for the two groups differ.

# Description

Earlier, when visualizing using the frame transformer, it was unclear
which frame corresponds to the source frame and so on. This MR uses the
debug draw tool to connect the source and target frames making the
transformations clearer.

## Type of change

- New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

## Screenshots

Please attach before and after screenshots of the change if applicable.

newton-physics#2526)

# Description

This PR fixes an issue where only one `FrameTransformer` instance could
visualize its connecting line between source and target frames. The
problem stemmed from a shared global `debug_draw` interface, where each
instance's call to `clear_lines()` would erase the lines drawn by
others.

The solution replaces `debug_draw` with a per-instance
`VisualizationMarkers`-based renderer that uses a thin yellow cylinder
to depict the connecting line. This ensures that all active
`FrameTransformer` instances in a scene can render their lines
concurrently without interfering with each other.

Fixes newton-physics#2525, newton-physics#1754

Only the most recently added `FrameTransformer` line would appear. After
this change, all relevant connections are visualized concurrently.
