MP_PyTorch: The Movement Primitives Package in PyTorch

MP_PyTorch package focus on Movement Primitives(MPs) on Imitation Learning(IL) and Reinforcement Learning(RL) and provides convenient movement primitives interface implemented by PyTorch, including DMPs, ProMPs and ProDMPs. Users can also implement custom Movement Primitives according to the basis and phase generator. Further, advanced NN-based Movement Primitives Algorithm can also be realized according to the convenient PyTorch-based Interface. This package aims to building a movement primitives toolkit which could be combined with modern imitation learning and reinforcement learning algorithm.

 

Installation

For the installation we recommend you set up a conda environment or venv beforehand.

This package will automatically install the following dependencies: addict, numpy, pytorch and matplotlib.

1. Install from PyPI

pip install mp_pytorch

2. Install from source

git clone [e-mail]:ALRhub/MP_PyTorch.git
cd mp_pytorch
pip install -e .

After installation, you can import the package easily.

import mp_pytorch
from mp_pytorch import MPFactory

 

Quickstart

For further information, please refer to the User Guide.

The main steps to create ProDMPs instance and generate trajectories are as follows:

1. Edit configuration

Suppose you have edited the required configuration. You can view the demo and check how to edit the configuration in Edit Configuration.

# config, times, params, params_L, bc_time, bc_pos, bc_vel, demos = get_mp_utils("prodmp", True, True)

2. Initial prodmp instance and update inputs

mp = MPFactory.init_mp(**config)
mp.update_inputs(times=times, params=params, params_L=params_L,
                 bc_time=bc_time, bc_pos=bc_pos, bc_vel=bc_vel)

# you can also choose to learn parameters from demonstrations.
params_dict = mp.learn_mp_params_from_trajs(times, demos)

3. Generate trajectories

traj_dict = mp.get_trajs(get_pos=True, get_pos_cov=True,
                         get_pos_std=True, get_vel=True,
                         get_vel_cov=True, get_vel_std=True)

# for probablistic movement primitives, you can also choose to sample trajectories
samples, samples_vel = mp.sample_trajectories(num_smp=10)
