DART joint springs are partially working. #975

Open osrf-migration opened 10 years ago

osrf-migration commented 10 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Jeongseok Lee (Bitbucket: jlee02, GitHub: jslee02).


I've enabled parts of the joint spring test in 3b120333e993db3686f8b3e654819e6244096568. Joint limit stiffness is not yet working, and the joint energy conservation has lower accuracy than ODE and simbody.

@jslee02 Can you merge the latest from osrf/gazebo branch gazebo_dart back to your fork? I tried testing your code, but it's not compiling. I think @hsu made some changes after you made the initial fix for the joint springs.

Also, we have to make sure that adding support for the springs does not cause compilation problems for people using older versions of dart.

I merged branch gazebo_dart (it is closed now) back to my fork gazebo_3.0_dart_4.0 branch. It is compiling with dart inverse_kinematics branch. It will be merged back to master branch soon.

Also I split gazebo_dart branch into gazebo_2.2_dart_3.0 and gazebo_3.0_dart_4.0 to keep supporting DART 3.0 for Gazebo 2.2.

@jslee02 Do you know why the accuracy is lower? Is it the underlying method? Thanks.

Somehow the SpringDamperTest is broken again with dart 4.1. The energy checks at joint_test.cc:352 are failing and eventually nan's are generated, which causes the test to proceed very slowly. The following patch prevents the nan's but doesn't fix the energy problem:

It was tricky to notice this because INTEGRATION_joint_test requires the latest sdformat version (try building on trusty with libsdformat2-dev-prerelease installed). Then run the test as follows:

$ test/integration/INTEGRATION_joint_test --gtest_filter="*/3"

If there's not an easy fix for this, I'll have to disable the test again.

UPDATE:

By further disabling the energy check, I see that the only other test failure is on line 384:

@jslee02 let me know if you have any ideas about how to fix this part of the test.

I also see the following message several times:

@karenliu @jslee02

Earlier in this thread I wrote that this test was working with dart 4.0. I just tested today, and it looks like the test is never worked with dart 4.0. I was confused because the spring test changed with gazebo pull request #1117. I thought that pull request had been carefully tested with dart 4.0, but I was mistaken (the test was failing in Jenkins due to using the wrong version of sdformat).

At any rate, the test is partially working, so I think it won't be too hard to fix. Several joints with implicit stiffness/damping defined in sdf tags are working, while the failing joint has its stiffness set by a plugin. Perhaps there is a timing issue with when the plugin sets the stiffness?
