Sets a numeric or string-valued setting for the planner.

set_plan_setting (setting,value)

Return type:

None

Parameters:

• setting (str) –

• value (str or float) –

Valid numeric values are:

• “knn”: k value for the k-nearest neighbor connection strategy (only for PRM)

• “connectionThreshold”: a milestone connection threshold

• “perturbationRadius”: (for RRT and SBL)

• “bidirectional”: 1 if bidirectional planning is requested (for RRT)

• “grid”: 1 if a point selection grid should be used (for SBL)

• “gridResolution”: resolution for the grid, if the grid should be used (for SBL with grid, FMM, FMM*)

• “suboptimalityFactor”: allowable suboptimality (for RRT*, lazy PRM*, lazy RRG*)

• “randomizeFrequency”: a grid randomization frequency (for SBL)

• “shortcut”: nonzero if you wish to perform shortcutting after a first plan is found.

• “restart”: nonzero if you wish to restart the planner to get better paths with the remaining time.

Valid string values are:

• “pointLocation”: a string designating a point location data structure. “kdtree” is supported, optionally followed by a weight vector (for PRM, RRT*, PRM*, LazyPRM*, LazyRRG*)

• “restartTermCond”: used if the “restart” setting is true. This is a JSON string defining the termination condition.

  The default value is “{foundSolution:1;maxIters:1000}”, which indicates that the planner will restart if it has found a solution, or 1000 iterations have passed.

  To restart after a certain amount of time has elasped, use “{timeLimit:X}”. If you are using an optimizing planner, e.g., shortcutting, you should set foundSolution:0.

klampt.plan.motionplanning.destroy()

Return type:

None

class klampt.plan.motionplanning.CSpaceInterface(*args)

Bases: object

A raw interface for a configuration space.

..note:

The native Python CSpace interface class in cspace.py is easier to use.

You can either set a single feasibility test function using setFeasibility() or add several feasibility tests, all of which need to be satisfied, using addFeasibilityTest(). In the latter case, planners may be able to provide debugging statistics, solve Minimum Constraint Removal problems, run faster by eliminating constraint tests, etc.

Either setVisibility() or setVisibilityEpsilon() must be called to define a visibility checker between two (feasible) configurations. In the latter case, the path will be discretized at the resolution sent to setVisibilityEpsilon. If you have special single-constraint visibility tests, you can call that using addVisibilityTest (for example, for convex constraints you can set it to the lambda function that returns true regardless of its arguments).

Supported properties include “euclidean” (boolean), “metric” (string), “geodesic” (boolean), “minimum” (vector), and “maximum” (vector). These may be used by planners to make planning faster or more accurate. For a complete list see KrisLibrary/planning/CSpace.h.

class klampt.plan.motionplanning.PlannerInterface(cspace)

Bases: object

An interface for a kinematic motion planner. The MotionPlan interface in cspace.py is somewhat easier to use.

On construction, uses the planner type specified by setPlanType and the settings currently specified by calls to setPlanSetting.

Point-to-point planning is enabled by sending two configurations to the setEndpoints method. This is mandatory for RRT and SBL-style planners. The start and end milestones are given by indices 0 and 1, respectively

Point-to-set planning is enabled by sending a goal test as the second argument to the setEndpoints method. It is possible also to send a special goal sampler by providing a pair of functions as the second argument consisting of the two functions (goaltest,goalsample). The first in this pair tests whether a configuration is a goal, and the second returns a sampled configuration in a superset of the goal. Ideally the goal sampler generates as many goals as possible.

To plan, call planMore(iters) until getPath(0,1) returns non-NULL. The return value is a list of configurations.

Some planners can be used multi-query mode (such as PRM). In multi-query mode, you may call addMilestone(q) to add a new milestone. addMilestone() returns the index of that milestone, which can be used in later calls to getPath().

In point-to-set mode, getSolutionPath will return the optimal path to any goal milestone.

All planners work with the standard path-length objective function. Some planners can work with other cost functions, and you can use setCostFunction to set the edge / terminal costs. Usually, the results will only be optimal on the computed graph, and the graph is not specifically computed to optimize that cost.

To get a roadmap (V,E), call getRoadmap(). V is a list of configurations (each configuration is a Python list) and E is a list of edges (each edge is a pair (i,j) indexing into V).

To dump the roadmap to disk, call dump(fn). This saves to a Trivial Graph Format (TGF) format.
