gym-luckyworld 0.0.19

A gym environment for LuckyWorld

gym-luckyworld

A gym environment for the Lucky World simulator

Installation

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.13 and activate it, e.g. with miniconda:

conda create -y -n luckyworld python=3.13 && conda activate luckyworld

Install gym-luckyworld:

pip install gym-luckyworld

Quickstart

import imageio
import numpy as np
import gymnasium as gym
import gym_luckyworld # noqa: F401

env = gym.make("gym_luckyworld/LuckyWorld-PickandPlace-v0")

observation, info = env.reset()
frames = []

for _ in range(1000):
    action = env.action_space.sample()
    observation, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
    image = env.render()
    if env.render_mode == "rgb_array":
        frames.append(image)

    if terminated or truncated:
        observation, info = env.reset()

env.close()

if env.render_mode == "rgb_array":
    imageio.mimsave("example.mp4", np.stack(frames), fps=10)

Description

LuckyWorld environment for imitation learning with robotic manipulation tasks.

Two tasks are available:

• PickandPlace: The SO100 robot arm needs to pick up objects and place them at target locations.
• Navigation: Robot navigation tasks for mobile platforms.

Robots

• SO100: 6-DOF robotic arm with the following actuators:
  • shoulder_pan: Shoulder rotation (-2.2 to 2.2 rad)
  • shoulder_lift: Shoulder elevation (-3.14 to 0.2 rad)
  • elbow_flex: Elbow joint (0.0 to 3.14 rad)
  • wrist_flex: Wrist flexion (-2.0 to 1.8 rad)
  • wrist_roll: Wrist rotation (-3.14 to 3.14 rad)
  • gripper: Gripper position (-0.2 to 2.0)

Action Space

The action space consists of continuous values for the robot's joint positions, resulting in a 6-dimensional vector for SO100:

• Six values for the arm's joint positions (absolute values within joint limits).

Observation Space

Observations are provided as a dictionary with the following keys:

• agent_pos: Current joint positions of the robot arm (6D vector for SO100).
• pixels: RGB camera feed (480x640x3) from the robot's perspective.

Rewards

Important: This environment is designed for imitation learning. All rewards are set to 0.0 by default.

For reinforcement learning applications, you must implement custom reward functions by:

1. Subclassing the task classes (PickandPlace, Navigation)
2. Overriding the get_reward() method with your domain-specific reward logic

Termination Criteria

Episodes terminate based on task-specific conditions:

• PickandPlace:
  • Success: Object is placed at target location
  • Failure: Object is dropped away from target
• Navigation:
  • Success: Robot reaches target location
  • Failure: Robot collides with obstacles

Starting State

The robot and environment objects start at randomized positions within predefined bounds.

Arguments

>>> import gymnasium as gym
>>> import gym_luckyworld
>>> env = gym.make("gym_luckyworld/LuckyWorld-PickandPlace-v0", obs_type="pixels_agent_pos", render_mode="rgb_array")
>>> env
<TimeLimit<OrderEnforcing<PassiveEnvChecker<LuckyWorldEnv<gym_luckyworld/LuckyWorld-PickandPlace-v0>>>>>

• obs_type: (str) The observation type. Currently supports pixels_agent_pos (camera + joint positions). Default is pixels_agent_pos.
• render_mode: (str) The rendering mode. Can be human (OpenCV windows) or rgb_array (numpy arrays). Default is human.
• scene: (str) The scene to load. Default is kitchen.
• robot: (str) The robot type. Currently supports so100. Default is so100.
• timeout: (float) Maximum episode duration in seconds. Default is 30.0.

Example Usage for Imitation Learning

import gymnasium as gym
import gym_luckyworld

# Create environment
env = gym.make(
    "gym_luckyworld/LuckyWorld-PickandPlace-v0",
    obs_type="pixels_agent_pos",
    render_mode="rgb_array"
)

# Collect demonstration data
observations = []
actions = []

obs, info = env.reset()
for step in range(100):
    # Your demonstration policy here
    action = your_policy(obs)

    observations.append(obs)
    actions.append(action)

    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

    if terminated or truncated:
        obs, info = env.reset()

env.close()

# Use observations and actions for imitation learning
# (e.g., with ACT, BC, IQL, etc.)

Custom Rewards for RL

If you want to use this environment for reinforcement learning, implement custom rewards:

from gym_luckyworld.task import PickandPlace

class RewardedPickandPlace(PickandPlace):
    def get_reward(self, observation, info):
        # Implement your reward logic here
        object_distance = info.get("object_distance_from_target", float('inf'))
        reward = -object_distance  # Negative distance as reward

        # Add success bonus
        if object_distance < self.distance_threshold:
            reward += 100.0

        return reward

# Use your custom task
env = gym.make("gym_luckyworld/LuckyWorld-PickandPlace-v0")
env.task = RewardedPickandPlace("kitchen", "pickandplace", "so100", "human")
