I’m working on a project integrating Isaac Sim and MoveIt Pro via a ROS 2 bridge for a robot cell that uses a ZED 2i camera.
I found the official Isaac Sim ZED extension, but it looks like it only ships USD models for the ZED X family - no ZED 2i. I also came across a forum thread about someone forking zed-isaac-sim to add ZED 2i intrinsics, but running into an is_sn_valid check that rejects 2i-style serial numbers since the SDK streaming path seems built specifically around ZED X.
Could you point me toward:
Whether ZED 2i support in Isaac Sim is on any roadmap, or if there’s a recommended workaround for older camera models
A USD asset (even unofficial/community) for the ZED 2i, if one exists
Any documentation on how the extension’s SDK-streaming pipeline is structured, in case we end up patching it ourselves to support 2i serials
Happy to share what we build if it’d be useful to others hitting the same gap. Thanks in advance!
You’re right, the ZED 2 is not currently supported in Isaac Sim; only the ZED X cameras are.
There is no workaround available at the moment, so support would need to be added on our side. We’ve noted your request and will look into adding this model in a future release. That said, I can’t guarantee the ZED 2i will make it into the next release, which is planned for very soon.
No worries on the guarantee, just wondering roughly how far out we’re talking — like weeks, a couple months, longer than that? Just trying to figure out if it’s worth waiting on or if I should just build a workaround for now. Appreciate it either way!
Good news: we’ve managed to add support for the ZED 2i camera in the upcoming release of the Isaac Sim extension. This release is planned soon, alongside the release of ZED SDK 5.4.1.
