Our code uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim for simulation. Installation instructions can be found here. This code has been tested with Isaac Sim version 'isaac_sim-2022.2.0'
Further, following python packages should be installed in the Isaac sim python environment:
omegaconf, hydra, hydra-core, tqdm, opencv-python, mushroom-rl (local), shapely
'local' - local installation of the package is required
./python.sh -m pip install {name of the package} --global-option=build_ext --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I{Isaac install path}/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.2.0/kit/python/include/python3.7m"
./python.sh -m pip install -e {package path}/ --global-option=build_ext --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I{Isaac install pathj}/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.2.0/kit/python/include/python3.7m"

Download both the files, unzip and place them inside the repository
First open {Isaac install path}/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.2.0
in terminal and run the following command:
./python.sh {package path}/{script name}.py
Layer 1: base motion
./python.sh {package path}/pre-grasp-approaching/train/base_motion.py
Layer 2: grasp decision
./python.sh {package path}/pre-grasp-approaching/train/grasp_decision.py
BP-Net
First, save data for training BP-Net
./python.sh {package path}/pre-grasp-approaching/test/grasp_decision.py
Then use this data to train BP-Net
./python.sh {package path}/pre-grasp-approaching/train/state_prediction.py
Layer 3: arm motion
./python.sh {package path}/pre-grasp-approaching/train/arm_motion.py
