EStepMode (Enum)

Controls how the physics engine advances the simulation.

  • Live: physics thread advances at Options.Timestep on its own. Publishers stream state, control subscriber writes ctrl. Live / streaming workflows.
  • Direct: physics thread blocks on a step-request queue fed by UURLabZmqRpcTransport. RPC writes ctrl, calls mj_step n times, returns observations. Deterministic RL training where UE owns the integrator.
  • Puppet: physics thread blocks on a push-state queue fed by UURLabZmqRpcTransport. RPC writes qpos/qvel, calls mj_forward, returns observations. MJX / Jax-owned rollouts where the client owns the integrator.
  • Auto: starts Live, hello RPC promotes to Direct or Puppet on first client connection, demotes back when client disconnects.
