Description

Replace the PyTorch policy and observation path with native Warp arrays and ONNX inference. Pin the asset revision containing the converted model so the example works from a fresh checkout.

Keep floating-root coordinates out of the 94-value policy input and lazily create Torch views for other RL examples.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for running the Kamino DR Legs reinforcement-learning example from ONNX policy files using Warp-NN.
    • The example now defaults to the drlegs_walk.onnx policy and validates that the selected file exists.
    • Added ONNX policy inference with Torch tensor input and output support.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation for unsupported model layouts, unavailable runtime support, and invalid observation tensors.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ONNX inference results and zero-copy tensor processing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The DR Legs reinforcement-learning example now loads ONNX policies through Warp-NN. A WarpOnnxPolicy wrapper validates inputs and performs inference. The ONNX dependency is pinned to a Git commit, and a Gemm-based integration test verifies the policy path.

Changes

DR Legs Warp-NN playback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Warp-NN ONNX policy wrapper
newton/_src/solvers/kamino/examples/rl/onnx_policy.py, newton/tests/kamino/test_kamino_rl_onnx.py, pyproject.toml
Adds WarpOnnxPolicy with runtime, model-shape, and tensor validation. Adds a conditional Gemm integration test. Pins the ONNX extra to a Warp-NN Git commit.
DR Legs ONNX playback integration
newton/_src/solvers/kamino/examples/rl/example_rl_drlegs.py, changelog/+kamino-warp-nn-7c31d8a4.changed.md
Replaces Torch checkpoint loading with ONNX policy loading, updates the default policy and asset revision handling, validates explicit .onnx paths, and documents the change.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cbf97

DR Legs playback now uses Warp-NN ONNX policies, but incompatible model action dimensions can still fail during execution and the ONNX dependency installation path remains sensitive to Git/network availability. Address these compatibility and packaging concerns before merge.

Use base_joint_index to identify the floating root, not assume joint 0.

The code reads model_joints.dof_type.numpy()[0] and model_joints.num_coords.numpy()[0] assuming joint 0 is the floating root. However, the model construction logic assigns the base joint index via model.info.base_joint_index[world_id], which can reference any joint—not necessarily joint 0. For a single-world simulation like this example, retrieve the actual base joint index from self.sim_wrapper.sim.model.info.base_joint_index.numpy()[0] and use it to index dof_type and num_coords. If the base joint index is -1 (no floating base assigned), the offset should remain 0.

Correct pattern:
model_joints = self.sim_wrapper.sim.model.joints
base_joint_idx = int(self.sim_wrapper.sim.model.info.base_joint_index.numpy()[0])
if base_joint_idx >= 0:
    root_dof_type = int(model_joints.dof_type.numpy()[base_joint_idx])
    if root_dof_type in (JointDoFType.FREE, JointDoFType.SPHERICAL):
        self._policy_joint_coord_offset = int(model_joints.num_coords.numpy()[base_joint_idx])
    else:
        self._policy_joint_coord_offset = 0
else:
    self._policy_joint_coord_offset = 0

🌐 Web query:

Does PyPI reject uploads whose package metadata contains direct URL dependency references (PEP 440 direct references)?

💡 Result:

Yes, PyPI rejects uploads of packages that contain direct URL dependency references (often referred to as PEP 440 or PEP 508 direct references) in their metadata [1][2][3]. When you attempt to upload a distribution (such as a wheel or sdist) to PyPI that includes a direct URL dependency in its Requires-Dist metadata field, the upload will fail with an error similar to "400 Client Error: Bad Request - Packages with direct (URL) references in Requires-Dist are not allowed" [2][4][3]. This restriction is enforced by PyPI's backend software (Warehouse) [4][3]. While various Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) regarding metadata have historically permitted index servers to decide whether to allow or prohibit these references [5][6], PyPI explicitly prohibits them to maintain security, reliability, and independence from external, potentially unreliable sources [7][8][3]. Direct references are intended as a tool for software integrators to use locally or in private environments, rather than for packages intended for broad distribution via public indices [7][1][8].

NVIDIA warp-nn d9334ff1b00cb429e8336bb373bdfa1a948f8d49 license packaging pyproject ONNX extra

💡 Result:

Warp-NN is an open-source library for building and training neural networks for Physical AI workflows using NVIDIA Warp [1][2]. The project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 [3][4]. Regarding your specific queries: Packaging and Configuration The project uses a pyproject.toml file for configuration and packaging [4]. It is published on PyPI as warp-nn [3]. ONNX Support Warp-NN includes a minimal ONNX inference runtime designed to run on Warp kernels, which avoids a dependency on the full ONNX Runtime [4][5]. It offers an optional "onnx" extra that can be installed for this purpose [4]: pip install warp-nn[onnx] The dependency included in this optional extra is onnx>=1.16.0 [4]. Regarding the specific identifier "d9334ff1b00cb429e8336bb373bdfa1a948f8d49" provided in your query, there is no evidence that this string is a documented license, version, or specific artifact identifier associated with the Warp-NN codebase. It may be a truncated or unrelated hash; the project's commit hashes and versions are tracked via standard Git and PyPI mechanisms [3][6][7].

site:pypi.org/project/warp-nn/ warp-nn release version ONNX extra

💡 Result:

In the warp-nn library, the ONNX support is provided through an optional dependency defined by the extra named "onnx" [1][2]. As of the latest release, version 0.3.1 (released August 10, 2026), this extra requires the onnx package to be at version 1.16.0 or higher [1]. Users can install this support via pip using the command: pip install warp-nn[onnx]. Note that while warp-nn is part of the NVIDIA ecosystem, it is maintained separately from the core warp-lang library [3].

Replace the direct warp-nn reference before publishing. uv_build will emit it as Requires-Dist metadata, and PyPI rejects distributions with direct URL dependencies. The release workflow will therefore fail when it publishes the Newton wheel. The pinned commit is Apache-2.0 and defines the onnx extra, so licensing is compatible; publish a wheel containing its required ONNX support, then use that released version.

Warp-NN OnnxRuntime Python API input_names output_names input shapes output shapes

💡 Result:

Warp-NN does not use the standard onnxruntime Python API (such as onnxruntime.InferenceSession) [1][2]. Instead, it implements its own, minimal, Warp-native ONNX inference runtime designed for compatibility with CUDA graphs and Warp-based pipelines [2][3][4]. Because Warp-NN's ONNX runtime is a custom implementation rather than a wrapper around the official ONNX Runtime, it does not share the same input_names, output_names, or shape-handling APIs as the official onnxruntime package [2][5]. Key technical points regarding how Warp-NN handles model inputs and outputs: 1. Custom Runtime: Warp-NN's ONNX runtime is a standalone implementation intended to avoid dependencies on heavy frameworks like PyTorch or the full ONNX Runtime [2][3]. 2. Input/Output Management: Rather than using InferenceSession.run(), Warp-NN loads models via internal functions (e.g., load_checkpoint) [6]. The library identifies inputs and outputs based on the structure of the exported ONNX model, and developers typically interact with these by mapping specific tensor names to roles within their simulation or controller logic [6]. 3. Shape Handling: Warp-NN does not have a native "get shapes" API analogous to model.get_inputs()[0].shape from onnxruntime. Instead, users of the library query the runtime for the shapes of specific inputs or outputs using internal helper functions (often named similarly to _runtime_shape in user code) [6]. 4. Integration: In practice, users define expected shapes (e.g., (num_layers, num_actuators, hidden_size)) and validate them against the loaded model's runtime properties to ensure compatibility with Warp buffers and tensors [6]. For developers transitioning from official ONNX Runtime to Warp-NN, you must rely on the specific warp_nn.runtime module, which provides the lightweight parsing and inference capabilities tailored for Warp kernels [2][4]. You should check the documentation or the warp_nn/runtime/onnx_runtime.py source file in the official repository for the most current method signatures if you need to perform low-level model inspection [2].

site:github.com/NVIDIA/warp-nn "class OnnxRuntime" "input_names"

💡 Result:

In ONNX Runtime, the InferenceSession class does not have an attribute named input_names. To retrieve the names of the input nodes for a model, you should access the get_inputs method of the InferenceSession object [1]. The get_inputs method returns a list of NodeArg objects, each of which contains the name of an input. You can extract these names using a list comprehension: input_names = [input.name for input in session.get_inputs] This approach is the standard way to inspect model inputs in the ONNX Runtime Python API [1].

Validate the ONNX output shape at policy load.

warp_nn.runtime.OnnxRuntime already validates the effective input shape during __call__. This check still does not validate the output shape. A one-input, one-output model with the wrong action width can run inference and fail at self.actions[:] = self.policy(...). Compare the model output shape with the DR Legs action shape before inference, and pass the expected action width from the caller. Add a test for an invalid output width.
