GA-DDPG

[website, paper]

Installation

git clone https://github.com/liruiw/GA-DDPG.git --recursive

0. Setup: Ubuntu 16.04 or above, CUDA 10.0 or above, python 2.7 / 3.6

1. • (Required for Training) - Install OMG submodule and reuse conda environment.
   • (Docker) See OMG Docker for details.
   • (Demo) - Install GA-DDPG inside a new conda environment

     conda create --name gaddpg python=3.6.9
     conda activate gaddpg
     pip install -r requirements.txt
     

2. Install PointNet++

3. Download environment data bash experiments/scripts/download_data.sh

Pretrained Model Demo

0. Download pretrained models bash experiments/scripts/download_model.sh
1. Demo model test bash experiments/scripts/test_demo.sh

Example 1	Example 2

Save Data and Offline Training

0. Download example offline data bash experiments/scripts/download_offline_data.sh The .npz dataset (saved replay buffer) can be found in data/offline_data and can be loaded for training.
1. To save extra gpus for online rollouts, use the offline training script bash ./experiments/scripts/train_offline.sh bc_aux_dagger.yaml BC
2. Saving dataset bash ./experiments/scripts/train_online_save_buffer.sh bc_save_data.yaml BC.

Online Training and Testing

0. We use ray for parallel rollout and training. The training scripts might require adjustment according to the local machine. See config.py for some notes.
1. Training online bash ./experiments/scripts/train_online_visdom.sh td3_critic_aux_policy_aux.yaml DDPG. Use visdom and tensorboard to monitor.
2. Testing on YCB objects bash ./experiments/scripts/test_ycb.sh demo_model. Replace demo_model with trained models. Logs and videos would be saved to output_misc

Note

0. Checkout core/test_realworld_ros_final.py for an example of real-world usages.
1. Related Works (OMG, ACRONYM, 6DGraspNet, 6DGraspNet-Pytorch, ContactGraspNet, Unseen-Clustering)
2. To use the full Acronym dataset with Shapenet meshes, please follow ACRONYM to download the meshes and grasps and follow OMG-Planner to process and save in /data. filter_shapenet.json can then be used for training.
3. Please use Github issue tracker to report bugs. For other questions please contact Lirui Wang.
