A lightweight Python Robot simulator
Project description
aitk.robots
A lightweight Python robot simulator for Jupyter Lab, Notebooks, and other environments.
Goals
- A lightweight mobile robotics simulator
- Usable in the classroom, research, or exploration
- Explore wheeled robots with range, cameras, and light sensors
- Operate quickly without a huge amount of resources
- Create reproducible experiments
- Designed for exposition, experimentation, and analysis
- Sensors designed for somewhat realistic problems (such as image recognition)
- Especially designed to work easily with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence systems
Examples
There are pre-designed simulations ready to run, like this:
import aitk.robots
import random
world = aitk.robots.load("two-scribblers")
for robot in world.robots:
# Give each robot a desired speed:
robot.forward(1)
def control(world):
for robot in world.robots:
if robot.stalled:
# If stuck, just reverse:
robot.reverse()
# Turn randomly:
robot.turn(1 - random.random() * 2)
# Watch the robots move in real time, or faster:
world.watch()
world.run(control, show=True, real_time=False)
# Press Control+C or interrupt the kernel to stop
You can also easily assemble your own simulations, robots, and sensors.
import aitk.robots
world = aitk.robots.World(width=100, height=100)
world.watch()
robot = aitk.robots.Scribbler()
world.add_robot(robot)
robot.add_device(aitk.robots.RangeSensor())
robot.add_device(aitk.robots.Camera())
world.save_as("world-1")
Installation
For the core operations, you will need to install just aitk.robots:
pip install aitk.robots
For just image processing on top of of the core, you will need:
- Pillow - Python Image Library (PIL)
For the full set of options, you will need:
- Pillow - Python Image Library (PIL)
- ipywidgets
- IPython
To use the Jupyter enhancements, you'll also need the browser-based extensions. You can install those with:
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager ipycanvas
If not in a conda environment, then you will also need to:
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
