Scikit-Robot is a lightweight pure-Python library for robotic kinematics, motion planning, visualization and control.

Installation

You may need to install some dependencies by apt-get install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libspatialindex-dev freeglut3-dev libsuitesparse-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev

Then,

pip install scikit-robot

If you would like to use Pybullet Interface and open3d for mesh simplification,

pip install scikit-robot[all]
