voxel_size: float = 0.02,
) → VoxelGrid

Get the occupancy of voxels in a grid bounded by the given cuboid.

Parameters:

  • cuboid – Cuboid to get the occupancy of voxels. Provide pose and dimenstions to create occupancy information.

  • voxel_size – Size in meters to use as the voxel size.

Returns:

Grid with the occupancy of voxels in the bounding box.

Get occupied voxels in a grid bounded by the given cuboid.

Parameters:

  • cuboid – Bounding box to get the occupied voxels.

) → WorldCollisionConfig

Load the WorldCollisionConfig from a dictionary.

Parameters:

  • world_coll_checker_dict – Dictionary containing the configuration parameters.

  • world_model_dict – Dictionary containing obstacles.

  • tensor_args – Device and precision of the tensors.

Returns:

Initialized WorldCollisionConfig object.

Return type:

WorldCollisionConfig

max_distance: Tensor | float = 0.1

Maximum distance to compute collision checking cost outside the object. This value is added in addition to a query sphere radius and collision activation distance. A smaller value will speedup collision checking but can result in slower convergence with swept sphere collision checking.

max_esdf_distance: Tensor | float = 100.0

Maximum distance outside an obstacle to use when computing euclidean signed distance field (ESDF) from different world representations.

n_envs: int = 1

Number of environments to use for collision checking.

update_cache_voxelization(
new_grid: VoxelGrid,
)

Update locaiton of voxels based on new grid parameters. Only for debugging.

Parameters:

new_grid – New grid to use for getting voxelized occupancy of current world obstacles.

update_obstacle_pose_in_world_model(
name: str,
pose: Pose,
env_idx: int = 0,
)

Update the pose of an obstacle in the world model.

Parameters:

  • name – Name of the obstacle to update.

  • pose – Pose to update the obstacle.

  • env_idx – Environment index to update the obstacle.

world_model: List[WorldConfig] | WorldConfig | None = None

World obstacles to load for collision checking.

tensor_args: TensorDeviceType

Device and precision of the tensors.
