Motion planning environment for Sampling-based Planners

Overview

Sampling-Based Motion Planners' Testing Environment

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.

Installation

Optional

I recommend first creates a virtual environment with

# assumes python3 and bash shell
python -m venv sbp_env
source sbp_env/bin/activate

Install dependencies

You can install all the needed packages with pip.

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

python main.py --help

but the basic syntax is

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

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*

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

RRdT* Planner

RRT*

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

RRT* Planner

Bi-RRT*

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

Bi-RRT* Planner

Informed RRT*

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.

  • question on (example) usage

    question on (example) usage

    According to the submitted paper, with sbp-env "one can quickly swap out different components to test novel ideas" and "validate ... hypothesis rapidly". However, from the examples in the documentation, it is unclear to me how I can obtain performance metrics on the planners when a run a test.

    Is there a way to save such metrics to a file or print them when running planners in sbp-env? If not, this might be a nice feature to implement in a future version. Otherwise, you could consider adding an example to the documentation on how to compare different planners in the same scenario.

    Suggestion to make installation easier

    I was wondering why you have the following remark block in your installation instructions: image

    I think it would be easier to add those two packages to the file requirements_klampt.txt. That way they'll be installed automatically, it saves the user an extra action. Or is there any reason I'm missing why that shouldn't be done?

  • Exception after running the example from the documentation

    Exception after running the example from the documentation

    When I run the example from the quick start page in the documentation, an exception occurs.

    The command: python main.py rrt maps/room1.png

    The exception:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "main.py", line 287, in <module>
        environment.run()
      File "C:\Users\Olger\PycharmProjects\sbp-env\env.py", line 198, in run
        self.visualiser.terminates_hook()
      File "C:\Users\Olger\PycharmProjects\sbp-env\visualiser.py", line 148, in terminates_hook
        self.env_instance.sampler.visualiser.terminates_hook()
      File "C:\Users\Olger\PycharmProjects\sbp-env\env.py", line 126, in __getattr__
        return object.__getattribute__(self.visualiser, attr)
    AttributeError: 'PygameEnvVisualiser' object has no attribute 'sampler'
    

    The exception only occurs after the simulation has finished so it seems like a minor problem. Although I'm not really sure what happens at env.py, line 126, in __getattr__ and why. So, I don't have a proposed fix.

  • invalid start and goal point can be specified with command-line interface

    invalid start and goal point can be specified with command-line interface

    When specifying a goal and start point in the commands line, it is possible to specify invalid points. Specifying an invalid start and goal will result in an infinite loop.

    For example, running: python main.py rrt maps\room1.png start 10,10 goal 15,15, will result in an infinite loop with the following GUI:

    image

    Expected behavior when supplying an invalid option would be an exception.

    Though it's standard, adding instruction to run tests in the documentation might be helpful for users wanting to contribute.

  • Graph building of prm planner without user information

    Graph building of prm planner without user information

    The graph building method in the prm planner (build_graph() in prmPlanner.py) can take quite some time when a large number of nodes is used. However, the user is not notified that the planner is still processing data. The first time I encountered this, I suspected the software got stuck in an infinite loop because the window was not responding anymore. I think this can be easily fixed by adding a tqdm bar in the build_graph() method (at line 83)

    Hi 1.I am wonderingt that the parameter (use_rtree)in choose_least_cost_parent() function and rewire() funtion (RRT). Is it no longer necessary because we use numpy's calculation method? 2. When i run the informedrrt algorithm, the ellipse display of the graphic drawing does not appear as shown in the document. How can it be displayed? I'm sorry to interrupt you from your busy schedule.
