differentiable robot model
Differentiable and learnable robot model. Our differentiable robot model implements computations such as
forward kinematics and inverse dynamics, in a fully differentiable way. We also allow to specify
parameters (kinematics or dynamics parameters), which can then be identified from data (see examples folder).
Currently, our code should work with any kinematic trees. This package comes with wrappers specifically for:
- TriFinger Edu
- Kuka iiwa
- Franka Panda
- Allegro Hand
- Fetch Arm
- a 2-link toy robot

Installation
Requirements: python>= 3.7
clone this repo and install from source:
git clone git@github.com:facebookresearch/differentiable-robot-model.git
cd differentiable-robot-model
python setup.py develop
Examples
2 examples scripts show the learning of kinematics parameters
python examples/learn_kinematics_of_iiwa.py
and the learning of dynamics parameters
python examples/learn_dynamics_of_iiwa.py
L4DC paper and experiments
the notebook experiments/l4dc-sim-experiments
shows a set of experiments that are similar to what we presented
in our L4DC paper

Testing
running pytest
in the top-level folder will run our differentiable robot model tests,
which compare computations against pybullet.
Code Contribution
We enforce linters for our code. The formatting
test will not pass if your code does not conform.
To make this easy for yourself, you can either
- Add the formattings to your IDE
- Install the git pre-commit hooks by running
pip install pre-commit pre-commit install
For Python code, use black.
To enforce this in VSCode, install black, set your Python formatter to black and set Format On Save to true.
To format manually, run: black .
