Changelog¶
v2.0.0
2026.10.30
v2.0.0¶
New¶
- Stellar Station. Build the robot system as a graph of nodes in the browser: gateways, controllers, sensors, navigation and your own modules. Load design documents into nodes, start and stop nodes, follow their logs, and back up the whole Station in one file. See Stellar Station.
- Gateways. Actuator gateways for EtherCAT drives and robots in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, created in the new Gateway Designer (
.gw). Camera and IMU gateways for simulated and real sensors; the Device Bridge serves real RGB-D cameras and IMUs. See Gateways. - Strider. Controller and web UI for wheeled mobile bases: differential, skid steer, mecanum, swerve and Ackermann drives (
.sddm). See Strider. - Articulation. Joint-level controller for legged robots, humanoids and other articulated robots (
.sdda). See Articulation. - Localization and navigation. Camera-based localization on a map and autonomous navigation to goals, configured by one map bundle (
.nav). See Localization and Navigation. - Isaac Bridge. Extension for Isaac Sim 6.0 that connects Isaac Sim to the Station's gateways: several robots per scene, cameras and IMUs. See Simulation.
- SSH Workspace. A Linux workspace on the controller with the
soderocommand-line tool and support for AI coding agents. See SSH Workspace. - Network Settings. A settings page on port 3000 for the LAN address and SSH access. See Network Settings.
Changed¶
- Stellar Designer opens from a controller node on the Station and edits that node's document: manipulators (
.sdd), mobile robots (.sddm) and articulated robots (.sdda). Motor and EtherCAT settings moved to the Gateway Designer. - Stellar Motion Studio has a new interface with the Home, Tool and Pose pages. Programs run from the SSH Workspace or as modules on the Station.
Documentation¶
- This documentation describes the Stellar X 2.0 software. The pages follow the order of use: Learning Path and Quick Start, then hardware, Stellar Station, gateways and sensors, Stellar Designer, simulation, operation and navigation.
- Example files (Compatibility and Downloads):
jackal.gwandjackal.sddmfor the Quick Start,wheels.gwandbase.sddmfor the EtherCAT Mobile Base tutorial, and the map bundle of Navigate in Simulation. If the Station refuses a copy you downloaded earlier, download the file again.
