SS-Replan

Online observation, estimatation, planning, and control for a Franka Panda Robot operating in NVIDIA SRL's simulated kitchen environment.

Installation

SS-Replan supports both Python 2 and Python 3.

• Install Git LFS
• $ pip install numpy scipy pybullet sklearn
• $ git lfs clone --branch master --recurse-submodules https://github.com/caelan/SS-Replan.git
• $ cd SS-Replan
• SS-Replan$ git lfs install
• SS-Replan$ ./pddlstream/FastDownward/build.py release64
• SS-Replan$ cd ss-pybullet/pybullet_tools/ikfast/franka_panda
• SS-Replan/ss-pybullet/pybullet_tools/ikfast/franka_panda$ ./setup.py

It's also possible to use TRAC-IK instead of IKFast; however it requires installing ROS ($ sudo apt install ros-kinetic-trac-ik).

PyBullet Examples

• SS-Replan$ git pull
• SS-Replan$ git submodule update --init --recursive
• SS-Replan$ ./run_pybullet.py [-h]

IsaacSim Examples

Executed using the IssacSim 3D robot simulation environment.

Resources

• This repository uses PDDLStream to perform hybrid robotic planning.
• PDDLStream leverages FastDownward, a classical planner, as a discrete search subroutine.
• Common robotics primitives are implemented using PyBullet.
