Learning Collision-free and Torque-limited Robot Trajectories based on Alternative Safe Behaviors.

Learning Collision-free and Torque-limited Robot Trajectories based on Alternative Safe Behaviors

This python package provides the code to learn torque-limited and collision-free robot trajectories without exceeding limits on the position, velocity, acceleration and jerk of each robot joint.

Installation

The package can be installed by running

pip install safemotions

Trajectory generation

To generate a random trajectory with a single robot run

python -m safemotions.random_agent

For a demonstration scenario with two robots run

python -m safemotions.random_agent --robot_scene=1

Collision-free trajectories for three robots can be generated by running

python -m safemotions.random_agent --robot_scene=2

Pretrained networks

Pretrained networks for various reaching tasks are provided.
To generate and plot trajectories for a reaching task with a single robot run

python -m safemotions.evaluate --checkpoint=one_robot/P_CT_S_5_J_A --use_gui --plot_trajectory --plot_actual_torques

Trajectories for two and three robots with alternating target points can be generated by running

python -m safemotions.evaluate --checkpoint=two_robots/P_C_S_1_J_A_D_5_T_A --use_gui 

and

python -m safemotions.evaluate --checkpoint=three_robots/P_C_S_1_J_A_D_5_T_A --use_gui 

Training

Networks can also be trained from scratch. For instance, a reaching task with a single robot can be learned by running

python -m safemotions.train --logdir=safemotions_training --name=One_robot_P_CT_S_5_J_A --robot_scene=0 --online_trajectory_time_step=0.1 --online_trajectory_duration=8.0 --use_target_points --target_point_cartesian_range_scene=0 --target_link_offset="[0, 0, 0.126]" --target_point_radius=0.065 --obs_add_target_point_pos --obs_add_target_point_relative_pos --obstacle_scene=3 --obstacle_use_computed_actual_values --use_braking_trajectory_method --closest_point_safety_distance=0.05 --check_braking_trajectory_torque_limits --acc_limit_factor_braking=0.75 --jerk_limit_factor_braking=0.75 --punish_action --action_punishment_min_threshold=0.95 --action_max_punishment=0.4  --target_point_reached_reward_bonus=5  --pos_limit_factor=1.0 --vel_limit_factor=1.0 --acc_limit_factor=1.0 --jerk_limit_factor=1.0 --torque_limit_factor=1.0 --iterations_per_checkpoint=100 --time=216
