ActionGraph to control the location of the object

[sandipsharan]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently experimenting with runtime control (teleop) for a prim object in Isaac Sim. I created a simple Action Graph to move the prim to a given transform, and it does move the object visually to the expected location. However, I noticed that the frame remains at the initial position, which means only the visual mesh moves, while the attached sensors stay fixed in their original position and orientation.

I’ve attached a short video that demonstrates this behavior.

Has anyone experienced this issue before or found a way to properly update the world transform so that both the visual and the underlying prim (including sensors) move together?

Additionally, if there’s a recommended or alternative approach for teleoperating prims during runtime (e.g., through Python scripting, ROS bridge, or Action Graph nodes), I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Isaac Sim version: 5.0.0
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
ROS Version: Humble

To help investigate, could you please share a minimal version of your .USD file (or the relevant asset hierarchy) that reproduces this behavior? That will allow us to reproduce the issue exactly and provide specific advice or escalate appropriately.

Thank you for replying, but I figured out the issue to resolve the behavior. I just used ReadPrimAttribute and WritePrimAttribute, along with ROS2 Subscribe Twist, to teleop the prim instead of MovetoTransform.
