Description

I am trying to write a plugin and other supporting classes for Foottroller, www.foottroller.com, to make it work in Isaac lab 3.0.0 beta-2. The plugin will read Foottroller inputs as gamepad inputs and feed them to teleop for retargeting and achieving control functions.

Q1:
It seems that the plugin itself cannot run by itself. It needs to detect cloudXR.
What is the minimum setup, e.g., a testing teleop session, to run it and verify that a plugin and everything work?

Q2:
Will a controller plugin run automatically during a teleop session that uses it, or it needs to be started manually?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the controller-plugin entry point and the teleop session setup, with particular attention to the CloudXR dependency mentioned in the issue. Document the minimum session needed to exercise a plugin and clearly state whether plugins start automatically or require manual launch; no specific files or tests are named in the report.
