Proposal: DeepRoboticsAdapter family for URML's substrate-neutral robot-intent language (Lite3 / M20 today, Lynx S10 forward-declared) #21

@idoco2003

Description

@idoco2003

Proposing a DeepRoboticsAdapter family targeting your published Lite3_MotionSDK, sdk_deploy ROS 2, and Lite3 / M20 stack today, with the Lynx S10 (launched 2026-05-22) as a forward target pending SDK publication. URML Layer-2 primitives map onto your motion-command surfaces and ROS 2 topics without changes upstream.

URML is an Apache 2.0 specification for substrate-neutral robot intent at urml.dev. DEEP Robotics introduces a mobility class URML has not previously declared: wheeled-legged hybrid. The Lynx S10 (16 joints, sub-20kg, 8 m/s, IP66) is the first URML outreach target with this morphology. The RFC flags the new mobility-class vocabulary as an open question for a future URML Spec RFC rather than proposing the Layer-1 schema change inline.

This is proposal-only, posted as part of URML's Move #5 outreach. No adapter code in this PR. The Lynx S10 portion is forward-declared (SDK pending publication). Beyond Lynx, the adapter family also covers Lite3 (the existing flagship quadruped) and M20 (industrial quadruped).

Feedback we'd value

  1. Lynx S10 SDK timeline. When is the published SDK expected?
  2. Adapter home. URML repo, DeepRoboticsLab contributed example, both?
  3. Best Issue surface. rl_training has Issues disabled; is Lite3_MotionSDK the right place to file substantive integration discussion, or do you prefer sdk_deploy / a different repo?
  4. Wheeled-legged mobility-class vocabulary. Recommendation for URML's manifest schema?
  5. Isaac Lab cross-link. rl_training is Isaac Lab-based; interest in coordinating with URML's open RFC-0050 (NVIDIA Isaac Lab) outreach?
  6. Conformance lane. Open to a URML conformance line on Lite3_MotionSDK README or DEEP Robotics product documentation?

Thanks for the Lite3 ecosystem (Lite3_MotionSDK, Lite3_rl_deploy, sdk_deploy ROS 2) and for the Lynx S10 launch. The wheeled-legged class is the most distinctive integration shape URML has encountered, and your existing SDKs make this proposal a lot more concrete than it otherwise would have been.
