Overview

Distilling Motion Planner Augmented Policies into Visual Control Policies for Robot Manipulation

[Project website] [Paper]

This project is a PyTorch implementation of Distilling Motion Planner Augmented Policies into Visual Control Policies for Robot Manipulation, published in CoRL 2021.

Learning complex manipulation tasks in realistic, obstructed environments is a challenging problem due to hard exploration in the presence of obstacles and high-dimensional visual observations. Prior work tackles the exploration problem by integrating motion planning and reinforcement learning. However, the motion planner augmented policy requires access to state information, which is often not available in the real-world settings. To this end, we propose to distill the state-based motion planner augmented policy to a visual control policy via (1) visual behavioral cloning to remove the motion planner dependency along with its jittery motion, and (2) vision-based reinforcement learning with the guidance of the smoothed trajectories from the behavioral cloning agent. We validate our proposed approach on three manipulation tasks in obstructed environments and show its high sample-efficiency, outperforming state-of-the-art algorithms for visual policy learning.

  • dr: set to True to train the model with domain randomization
  • dr_params_set: choose as per the training environment - ["sawyer_push, sawyer_lift, sawyer_assembly]
  • dr_eval: set to True for evaluating the domain randomization model

Trouble shooting

Mujoco GPU rendering

To use GPU rendering for mujoco, you need to add /usr/lib/nvidia-000 (000 should be replaced with your NVIDIA driver version) to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before installing mujoco-py. Then, during mujoco-py compilation, it will show you linuxgpuextension instead of linuxcpuextension. In Ubuntu 18.04, you may encounter an GL-related error while building mujoco-py, open venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mujoco_py/gl/eglshim.c and comment line 5 #include <GL/gl.h> and line 7 #include <GL/glext.h>.

Virtual display on headless machines

On servers, you don’t have a monitor. Use this to get a virtual monitor for rendering and put DISPLAY=:1 in front of a command.

# Run the next line for Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev

# Configure nvidia-x
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024

# Launch a virtual display
$ sudo /usr/bin/X :1 &

# Run a command with DISPLAY=:1
DISPLAY=:1 <command>

pybind11-dev not found

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pybind11/pybind11-dev_2.2.4-2_all.deb
sudo apt install ./pybind11-dev_2.2.4-2_all.deb

ERROR: GLEW initalization error: Missing GL version

This issue is most likely due to running on a headless server.

Solution 1:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/nvidia-000

Then add this line to ~/.bashrc file:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/nvidia-000

Solution 2:

1. First import and call mujocopy_render_hack in main.py
2. Follow the instructions in "Virtual display on headless machines" section
3. When running a script, remember to add DISPLAY:=1 <command>

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33447653/usr-bin-ld-cannot-find-lgl-ubuntu-14-04

sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so
