The Open Motion Planning Library contains implementations of many sampling-based algorithms such as PRM, RRT, EST, SBL, KPIECE, SyCLOP, and several variants of these. Below is a simple annotated example of motion planning in continuous space:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from ompl import base as ob from ompl import geometric as og def plot_points(points, specs): x_val = [x[0] for x in points] y_val = [x[1] for x in points] plt.plot(x_val, y_val, specs) plt.draw() def isStateValid(state): #method for collision detection checking return (state[0] >= state[1]) def plan(start, goal): #set dimensions of the problem to be solved stateSpace = ob.RealVectorStateSpace() #set state space stateSpace.addDimension(0.0, 10.0) #set width stateSpace.addDimension(0.0, 10.0) #set height #create a simple setup object task = og.SimpleSetup(stateSpace) #set methods for collision detection and resolution of the checking task.setStateValidityChecker(ob.StateValidityCheckerFn(isStateValid)) task.getSpaceInformation().setStateValidityCheckingResolution(0.001) #setting start and goal positions start_pose = ob.State(task.getStateSpace()) goal_pose = ob.State(task.getStateSpace()) start_pose()[0] = start[0] start_pose()[1] = start[1] goal_pose()[0] = goal[0] goal_pose()[1] = goal[1] task.setStartAndGoalStates(start_pose, goal_pose) #setting particular planner from the supported planners info = task.getSpaceInformation() planner = og.RRT(info) # RRT, RRTConnect, FMT, ... task.setPlanner(planner) #find the solution solution = task.solve() #simplify the solution if solution: task.simplifySolution() #retrieve found path plan = task.getSolutionPath() #extract path and plot it path = [] for i in range(plan.getStateCount()): path.append((plan.getState(i)[0], plan.getState(i)[1])) plot_points(path,'r') plt.show() if __name__ == "__main__": plan([0, 0], [10, 10])
Besides the setup of the planner, the programmer needs to deliver the validity checking function. In the problem of robotic motion planning this function usually consists of collision checking which can be based on different approaches, e.g., 1) 2).
Further information of the planner can be obtained using access through PlannerData object as demonstrated below.
#retrieve planner data plannerdata = ob.PlannerData(info) planner.getPlannerData(plannerdata) #getting vertices nv = plannerdata.numVertices() g = [] for i in range(0, nv): vert = plannerdata.getVertex(i) g.append((vert.getState()[0], vert.getState()[1])) #getting edges e = [] for i in range(0, nv): for j in range(0, nv): if plannerdata.edgeExists(i, j): e.append((g[i], g[j])) #show edges plot_edges(e,'g') plt.show()
