Description

This removes Kamino's internal model builder, ModelBuilderKamino, as well as several connected classes and routines:

  • all builder-adjacent descriptors: RigidBodyDescriptor, JointDescriptor, GeometryDescriptor, GravityDescriptor, WorldDescriptor
  • Kamino's USDImporter
  • all tests for the model builder, USD importer, descriptors
  • test model builders (using ModelBuilderKamino) as well as related helpers

All tests have been updated to use Newton's ModelBuilder, keeping as much of the test setup as possible. Tests that compare models across two import paths (Newton's model builder plus conversion vs Kamino's model builder) are no longer possible, so the conversion no longer has another source of truth to use as a reference.

I've also removed a set of USD test models that were no longer in use.

The test refactor also surfaced a small bug in the metrics computation: For a model consisting of a single free joint and a body (i.e., no constraints), the computation would return 0 for the argmax of the joint constraint residual, instead of -1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR removes Kamino-specific builders, descriptors, inertia utilities, model packages, and test assets. Kamino examples and tests now use newton.ModelBuilder, replicate, add_usd, and ModelKamino.from_newton. Shared test builders gain actuation, floating-base, spherical-joint, and shape-gap options.

Changes

Kamino builder migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core API retirement
newton/_src/solvers/kamino/_src/core/*, newton/_src/solvers/kamino/_src/models/builders/*
Removes Kamino-specific builders, descriptors, inertia helpers, world metadata, builder utilities, and related exports.
Shared test-builder extensions
newton/tests/utils/basics.py, newton/tests/utils/testing.py
Adds spherical-joint selection, actuation controls, floating-base construction, effort-limit overrides, and shape-gap propagation.
Model construction migration
newton/_src/solvers/kamino/tests/*, newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_core_model.py, newton/tests/kamino/utils/*
Replaces Kamino-specific builders and USD import paths with newton.ModelBuilder, replicate, add_usd, and ModelKamino.from_newton.
Geometry and dynamics migration
newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_geometry_*, newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_dynamics_*
Updates collision, contact, Delassus, dual, and wrench tests to consume finalized models and model-owned contact metadata.
Kinematics and solver migration
newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_kinematics_*, newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_solvers_*
Migrates kinematics, reset, forward-kinematics, DVI, PADMM, and metrics tests to the shared builder API.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 663ee

This refactor retires Kamino’s alternate model-construction path and migrates tests and examples to Newton ModelBuilder. The current changes still carry unresolved risks that could cause a smoke test to fail, change simulated contact behavior, weaken metric validation, and omit the required migration changelog, so the PR is not merge-ready until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

61-61: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the per-pair contact cap. make_settings() leaves CollisionDetectorConfig.max_contacts_per_pair unset, so Kamino normalizes it to 12. The parent path set builder.max_contacts_per_pair = 8 to avoid a Warp tile API shared-memory bug. Set settings.solver.collision_detector.max_contacts_per_pair = 8; otherwise pairs producing more than eight contacts may increase allocation and reintroduce the bug.

Great job updating all the unit tests, in particuliar all the test models that really made use of the builder! Looks good to me overall, just had a question regarding testing newton -> kamino conversions + a few minor comments.

Good to merge from my side now! I leave it up to you if you see potential for reintroducing simple tests for the conversion now (against expected values), or if you want to leave this as follow-up.

I've added some tests for the model conversion, based on the expected per-array conversions. Not everything will be tested, but this should cover the main things, and uses inverse transformations where possible (so we're not checking the exact same operation that the conversion does).

def test_01_model_conversions_consistency_fourbar_from_builder(self):
"""
Test that a fourbar model built with Newton's ModelBuilder (single- and
multi-world) converts to a self-consistent ModelKamino.

I'm a bit confused why the new unit tests mention checking that the model is "self-consistent", when the new conversion check function are comparing a newton and kamino model...

"Self-consistent" in this case means that all info and size arrays are consistent, i.e., world sizes and offsets complement each other, and the sums are correct (everything that's checked by assert_model_info_size_consistency()). I can rephrase this.

Thanks for the extra effort to check the newton -> kamino conversion! The new conversion check function looks thorough! Just had minor comments regarding some comments.
