This package contains all the ROS components needed for creating a Panda Emika Franka Gazebo simulation. It is used by the ros_gazebo_gym RL framework to create the Panda task environments. It wraps the franka_ros and panda_moveit_config packages to add the extra functionalities needed to train RL agents efficiently.

Contributing

We use husky pre-commit hooks and github actions to enforce high code quality. Before contributing to this repository, please check the contribution guidelines.

[!NOTE]\ We used husky instead of pre-commit, which is more commonly used with Python projects. This was done because only some tools we wanted to use were possible to integrate the Please feel free to open a PR if you want to switch to pre-commit if this is no longer the case.
