pycram-robotics 1.0.3

A Python library for cognitive robot control

PyCRAM

PyCRAM is a plan executive framework for cognitive robotics that enables robust execution of high-level robot plans in partially observable environments. It provides modular, extensible tools for designing, implementing, and executing robot plans, facilitating integration of new functionalities and heterogeneous robot platforms.

Installation

The recommended installation method is via pip:

pip install pycram-robotics

For an alternative installation from source, use the automated script:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cram2/pycram/dev/scripts/install.sh | bash

Detailed installation instructions and manual setup guides are available here.

Live Demonstration

Test PyCRAM directly in your browser via our Virtual Research Building.

Cross-Platform Plan Execution Example

PyCRAM supports executing identical high-level plans on different robot platforms. Below is a demonstration of the same plan running on the PR2 and IAI's Boxy:
