Automatic Differentiation for rigid-body-dynamics AlgorithMs

adam implements a collection of algorithms for calculating rigid-body dynamics for floating-base robots, in mixed and body fixed representations (see Traversaro's A Unified View of the Equations of Motion used for Control Design of Humanoid Robots) using:

adam employs the automatic differentiation capabilities of these frameworks to compute, if needed, gradients, Jacobian, Hessians of rigid-body dynamics quantities. This approach enables the design of optimal control and reinforcement learning strategies in robotics.

adam is based on Roy Featherstone's Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms.

🐍 Dependencies

Other requisites are:

  • urdf_parser_py
  • jax
  • casadi
  • pytorch
  • numpy
  • jax2torch

They will be installed in the installation step!

💾 Installation

The installation can be done either using the Python provided by apt (on Debian-based distros) or via conda (on Linux and macOS).

🐍 Installation with pip

Install python3, if not installed (in Ubuntu 20.04):

sudo apt install python3.8

Create a virtual environment, if you prefer. For example:

pip install virtualenv
python3 -m venv your_virtual_env
source your_virtual_env/bin/activate

Inside the virtual environment, install the library from pip:

  • Install Jax interface:

    pip install adam-robotics[jax]
    
  • Install CasADi interface:

    pip install adam-robotics[casadi]
    
  • Install PyTorch interface:

    pip install adam-robotics[pytorch]
    
  • Install ALL interfaces:

    pip install adam-robotics[all]
    

If you want the last version:

🚀 Usage

The following are small snippets of the use of adam. More examples are arriving! Have also a look at the tests folder.

Jax interface

[!NOTE] Check also the Jax installation guide here

import adam
from adam.jax import KinDynComputations
import icub_models
import numpy as np
import jax.numpy as jnp
from jax import jit, vmap

# if you want to icub-models https://github.com/robotology/icub-models to retrieve the urdf
model_path = icub_models.get_model_file("iCubGazeboV2_5")
# The joint list
joints_name_list = [
    'torso_pitch', 'torso_roll', 'torso_yaw', 'l_shoulder_pitch',
    'l_shoulder_roll', 'l_shoulder_yaw', 'l_elbow', 'r_shoulder_pitch',
    'r_shoulder_roll', 'r_shoulder_yaw', 'r_elbow', 'l_hip_pitch', 'l_hip_roll',
    'l_hip_yaw', 'l_knee', 'l_ankle_pitch', 'l_ankle_roll', 'r_hip_pitch',
    'r_hip_roll', 'r_hip_yaw', 'r_knee', 'r_ankle_pitch', 'r_ankle_roll'
]

kinDyn = KinDynComputations(model_path, joints_name_list)
# choose the representation, if you want to use the body fixed representation
kinDyn.set_frame_velocity_representation(adam.Representations.BODY_FIXED_REPRESENTATION)
# or, if you want to use the mixed representation (that is the default)
kinDyn.set_frame_velocity_representation(adam.Representations.MIXED_REPRESENTATION)
w_H_b = np.eye(4)
joints = np.ones(len(joints_name_list))
M = kinDyn.mass_matrix(w_H_b, joints)
print(M)
w_H_f = kinDyn.forward_kinematics('frame_name', w_H_b, joints)

# IMPORTANT! The Jax Interface function execution can be slow! We suggest to jit them.
# For example:

def frame_forward_kinematics(w_H_b, joints):
    # This is needed since str is not a valid JAX type
    return kinDyn.forward_kinematics('frame_name', w_H_b, joints)

jitted_frame_fk = jit(frame_forward_kinematics)
w_H_f = jitted_frame_fk(w_H_b, joints)

# In the same way, the functions can be also vmapped
vmapped_frame_fk = vmap(frame_forward_kinematics, in_axes=(0, 0))
# which can be also jitted
jitted_vmapped_frame_fk = jit(vmapped_frame_fk)
# and called on a batch of data
joints_batch = jnp.tile(joints, (1024, 1))
w_H_b_batch = jnp.tile(w_H_b, (1024, 1, 1))
w_H_f_batch = jitted_vmapped_frame_fk(w_H_b_batch, joints_batch)

[!NOTE] The first call of the jitted function can be slow, since JAX needs to compile the function. Then it will be faster!

[!WARNING] REPOSITORY UNDER DEVELOPMENT! We cannot guarantee stable API

Todo

  • Center of Mass position
  • Jacobians
  • Forward kinematics
  • Mass Matrix via CRBA
  • Centroidal Momentum Matrix via CRBA
  • Recursive Newton-Euler algorithm (still no acceleration in the algorithm, since it is used only for the computation of the bias force)
  • Articulated Body algorithm
