Training an RL policy with PX4 as a real-time controller is often considered impractical due to SITL limitations, communication overhead, and strict safety constraints. In this presentation, I will share how I addressed these challenges during my master’s thesis to successfully train a navigation and obstacle avoidance policy using Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab. The talk focuses on the practical steps required to make PX4 compatible with unsupported simulators, including key preparations to enable stable SITL operation. I will discuss how to keep the PX4 SITL instance stable and continuously running throughout training. Additionally, I will cover methods for accessing PX4 state and control interfaces via MAVLink and ROS 2, and highlight how PX4’s built-in safety layers can unintentionally block RL training. Finally, I will present strategies to work around these constraints while preserving system stability and realism.
