prpy_lemur: LEMUR for PrPy

prpy bindings for Chris Dellin's LEMUR planner. For now, only a few features are supported. For example, caching between calls (within a single planner instance, or through cached files) is not yet supported.

LEMUR Planner Usage

The core planner abides by the standard prpy planning interface.

# Plan for the barrettwam robot arm
import openravepy
env = openravepy.Environment()
robot = env.ReadRobotXMLFile('robots/barrettwam.robot.xml')
env.Add(robot)
robot.SetActiveDOFs(range(7))

# Create a LEMUR prpy planner instance
import prpy_lemur
planner = prpy_lemur.LEMURPlanner(
   roadmap=prpy_lemur.roadmaps.Halton(num=1000, radius=2.0))

# Invoke a planning method
q_start = [-2.0,-0.5,-0.2,-0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
q_goal  = [ 2.0, 0.5, 0.2, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
robot.SetActiveDOFValues(q_start)  
traj = planner.PlanToConfiguration(robot, q_goal, max_batches=1)

Planning Methods Supported

These prpy planning methods are currently supported:

Self-Collision Checked Planner

prpy_lemur also includes experimental bindings for a family planner which is able to cache self-collision checks. First, construct a planner of the correct type:

planner = prpy_lemur.LEMURSelfCachedPlanner(
   roadmap=prpy_lemur.roadmaps.Halton(num=1000, radius=2.0))

Then, you can perform self-collision checks:

planner.Generate(robot, num_batches=1)

Future uses of this planner type should now rely on the cached collision checks for their plans.
