How to start simulation

[Miftahur92]

Hi, this might be a very silly question. I am running Ubuntu 18, ROS melodic and Python 3.6.9. I installed robo-gym and robo-gym-server (both master branch) and no error during installation. In terminal 1, i tried >> start-server-manager but nothing happens. then I tried _roslaunch ur_robot_server ur_robot_server.launch urmodel:=ur10 gui:=true and then only RVIZ comes up with a UR10 arm. In terminal 2, i tried _import gym, robogym but I get an error import-im6.q16: not authorized `robo-gym' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037." If I try to run _env = gym.make('EmptyEnvironmentURSim-v0', urmodel='ur5', ip='127.0.0.1'), I get syntax error, "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('". please, help me to run the simulation for a UR10.

HI @Miftahur92 and thank you for using robo-gym!

i tried >> start-server-manager but nothing happens.

Please have a look at the Testing section of the README and report back on the results you get.

In terminal 2, i tried import gym, robo_gym but I get an error import-im6.q16: not authorized robo-gym' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037." If I try to run _env = gym.make('EmptyEnvironmentURSim-v0', urmodel='ur5', ip='127.0.0.1'), I get syntax error, "bash: syntax error near unexpected token ('".

Are you sure you ran this in Python3?

Cheers, Matteo

Hi @matteolucchi , thanks for the reply. Outcome of >> start-server-manager && attach-to-server-manager is as expected. But, there was some error with pytest. please, check attachment 1.

I have created a pyenv environment and checked the python version after activating it. Python version is 3.6.9. I found my mistake, I was directly running them in the terminal instead of starting python first. I tried to run the random_agent_sim.py. Rviz and Gazebo come up but no robot. Please check attachment 2. What should I do next to start the training?

Hi @Miftahur92 !

But, there was some error with pytest. please, check attachment 1.

I think that pytest was run from the wrong directory, it is not specified in the docs. Please go to run pytest from the robo-gym folder (while the correct python environment for robo-gym is activated).

That is very weird, let's try to just launch the Mir100 simulation and see why the robot model is not loaded. Please try to run:

roslaunch mir_gazebo mir_empty_world.launch

and let me know what's the output.

Cheers, Matteo

I treid to launch mir_empty_world and it launched without any error.

But, I have to change the platform from melodic to kinetic. We have a mobile manipulator which is running in kinetic. So, I am planning to install robo-gym in kinetic. If you want, you can close this issue. I will create new issue if I issue implementing robo-gym in kinetic.

[matteolucchi]

Ok, just remind this:

WARNING for ROS Kinetic users The compatibility of the Universal Robots environments with ROS Kinetic has been maintained until version v0.1.8 included. After this version we integrated a refactored version of the universal_robot repository which is not compatible with ROS Kinetic. To use the UR environments on ROS kinetic you need to use v0.1.8 of the robo-gym package and v.0.1.8 of the robo-gym-robot-servers. See #16 for more details.

As noted in https://github.com/jr-robotics/robo-gym-robot-servers#readme
