Sampling-Based Motion Planners' Testing Environment

pypi Python version CI Build docs Code style: black License DOI

Sampling-based motion planners' testing environment (sbp-env) is a full feature framework to quickly test different sampling-based algorithms for motion planning. sbp-env focuses on the flexibility of tinkering with different aspects of the framework, and had divided the main planning components into two categories (i) samplers and (ii) planners.

The focus of motion planning research had been mainly on (i) improving the sampling efficiency (with methods such as heuristic or learned distribution) and (ii) the algorithmic aspect of the planner using different routines to build a connected graph. Therefore, by separating the two components one can quickly swap out different components to test novel ideas.

Have a look at the documentations for more detail information. If you are looking for the previous code for the RRdT* paper it is now archived at soraxas/rrdt.

Quick start with custom arbitrary environments

sh pip install sbp-env

```python import sbp_env

from math import exp, sin, cos

for functor in [ # simple inequality lambda x: (x[1] < x[0] + 1) and (x[1] > x[0] - 1), # equation adopted from https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/peaks.html lambda x: 0 < ( 3 * (1 - x[0]) ** 2.0 * exp(-(x[0] ** 2) - (x[1] + 1) ** 2) - 10 * (x[0] / 5 - x[0] ** 3 - x[1] ** 5) * exp(-x[0] ** 2 - x[1] ** 2) - 1 / 3 * exp(-((x[0] + 1) ** 2) - x[1] ** 2) ), lambda x: -0.22 < (cos(x[0]) * sin(x[1])), lambda x: 0.05 < (cos(x[0] ** 2 + x[1] ** 2)), ]: engine = sbpenv.engine.BlackBoxEngine( collisioncheckingfunctor=functor, lowerlimits=[-5, -5], upperlimits=[5, 5], ccepsilon=0.1, # collision check resolution ) planningargs = sbpenv.generateargs( plannerid="rrt", engine=engine, startpt=[-3, -3], goalpt=[3, 3], display=True, first_solution=True, )

env = sbp_env.env.Env(args=planning_args)
env.run()
print(env.get_solution_path(as_array=True))

```

Installation

Optional

I recommend first create a virtual environment with

```sh

assumes python3 and bash shell

python -m venv sbpenv source sbpenv/bin/activate ```

Install dependencies

You can install all the needed packages with pip.

sh pip install -r requirements.txt

There is also an optional dependency on klampt if you want to use the 3D simulator. Refer to its installation guide for details.

Quick Guide

You can get a detailed help message with

sh python main.py --help

but the basic syntax is

sh python main.py <PLANNER> <MAP> [options]

It will open a new window that display a map on it. Every white pixel is assumed to be free, and non-white pixels are obstacles. You will need to use your mouse to select two points on the map, the first will be set as the starting point and the second as the goal point.

Demos

Run maps with different available Planners

This repository contains a framework to performs quick experiments for Sampling-Based Planners (SBPs) that are implemented in Python. The followings are planners that had implemented and experimented in this framework.

Note that the commands shown in the respective demos can be customised with additional options. In fact, the actual command format used for the demonstrations is

sh python main.py <PLANNER> maps/room1.png start <sx>,<sy> goal <sx>,<sy> -vv

to have a fix set of starting and goal points for consistent visualisation, but we omitted the start/goal options in the following commands for clarity.

RRdT*

sh python main.py rrdt maps/room1.png -vv

RRdT* Planner

RRT*

sh python main.py rrt maps/room1.png -vv

RRT* Planner

Bi-RRT*

sh python main.py birrt maps/room1.png -vv

Bi-RRT* Planner

Informed RRT*

sh python main.py informedrrt maps/room1.png -vv

Informed RRT* Planner

The red ellipse shown is the dynamic sampling area for Informed RRT*

Others

There are also some other planners included in this repository. Some are preliminary planner that inspired RRdT*, some are planners with preliminary ideas, and some are useful for debugging.
