tactile.fbs carries the per-frame TactileData. tactile_shape.fbs carries the static TactileShape (bind-pose skeleton, taxel layout and skinning) with its own TactileShapeRecord root, so it can be pushed, recorded and replayed on its own collection. Both tables carry device_id and shape_version so a frame can be paired with the shape that lays it out, plus their element counts.

  • trackers.toml: generated TactileTracker and TactileShapeTracker, both defaulting to 16 KiB samples; 128 KiB samples failed in the CloudXR runtime's IPC, and 16 KiB is the largest size in use.
  • Python schema bindings with zero-copy NumPy views and validating constructors (counts are derived from the arrays).
  • TactileSource and TactileShapeSource; the shape source keeps the last shape, since producers publish it rarely and replay yields it only on the frames it was recorded at.
  • C++ and Python unit tests, and goldens for both schemas.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for capturing and processing tactile force data and tactile hand-shape layouts.
    • Tactile data includes per-taxel force vectors and device metadata; shape data includes joint and taxel layout information.
    • Added Python interfaces for accessing tactile frames and shape data, including array-based values for use in retargeting workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds FlatBuffer schemas and Python bindings for tactile force frames and tactile hand shapes. Adds DeviceIO tracker configurations, tensor types, and source nodes that convert tactile tracker payloads into force and shape tensors. The shape source retains the latest shape between polls. C++ and Python tests cover schema serialization, binding validation, and source behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64f37

A bad shape update can disrupt subsequent polls, and force data may be interpreted against the wrong layout without a way to detect it. Resolve both issues before merging.

@src/python/isaaccapture/retargeting_engine/deviceio_source_nodes/tactile_source.py:
- Around line 154-243: Validate each non-None shape’s joint and taxel counts in
TactileShapeSource.poll_tracker before assigning it to _latest, using the same
expected counts and ValueError behavior as _compute_fn. Keep _latest unchanged
when a shape fails validation so empty polls continue returning the last valid
shape.
- Around line 137-151: Extend the output contract used by `_compute_fn` to pair
each forces frame with its exact `device_id` and `shape_version`, since the
tensor contract cannot carry string identity. Populate the identity sidecar for
both output paths so consumers can detect when a frame does not match the
retained shape.

TactileSource published the TactileShape arrays as zero-copy views of the
metadata buffer the tracker adopted for the session. A consumer that
modified one in place changed the adopted bytes, so the producer's next
identical metadata push no longer matched and the session update threw.
The docstring also claimed the arrays were copies.

Publish copies of the shape arrays. Forces stay per-frame views, as in the
other DeviceIO sources.

The comment said trackers serialize into Record types in serialize_all(),
which nothing in the tree defines. Describe the record as the other
recent schemas do.

shape_arrays() skins every taxel to the last joint alone, with weight 1 in
the first slot; its docstring said the last two joints.
