Papallas et al ~ ICRA 2020 Paper: "Non-Prehensile Manipulation in Clutter with Human-In-The-Loop"

Non-Prehensile Manipulation in Clutter with Human-In-The-Loop

This work is to appear in the proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2020. More details about the paper here.

Installation

• Ubuntu 14.04
• You need ROS (Indigo).
• Boost 1.64 (locally installed on Ubuntu 14.04).
• OMPL installed from source.
• MuJoCo 200

Configuration

• You need to change in MujocoGlobal.cpp the path to PROJECT_ROOT_PATH and MJ_KEY_PATH to your paths.
• You need to obtain a MuJoCo license.

Demos

To run the demos on specific scenes use the following commands:

GRTC-HITL:

rosrun nonprehensile_planning grtc_hitl <scene_name>.xml <number_of_objects> <planner_name>

GRTC-Heuristic:

rosrun nonprehensile_planning grtc_heuristic <scene_name>.xml <number_of_objects> <planner_name>

RRT/KPIECE:

rosrun nonprehensile_planning rtc <scene_name>.xml <number_of_objects> <planner_name>

Where <scene_name> could be s1, s2, ..., s10 or parallel_1, parallel_2, ..., parallel_20. The <number_of_objects> should be the number of objects in the scene, which should be 10 for all the scenes provided. The value for <planner_name> can be either RRT or KPIECE (case-sensitive).
