A library for simulating Stompy in Isaac Gym. This library is built on top of the Isaac Gym library and Humanoid-gym and provides a simple interface for running experiments with Stompy. For a start, we have defined two tasks: getting up and walking.
We will be adding more tasks and simulator environments in upcoming weeks.
The walking task works reliably with the upper body being fixed. The getting up task is still an open challenge!
Getting Started
This repository requires Python 3.8 due to compatibility issues with underlying libraries. We hope to support more recent Python versions in the future.
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/kscalelabs/sim.git cd sim
Create a new conda environment and install the package:
conda create --name kscale-sim-library python=3.8.19 conda activate kscale-sim-library make install-dev
Install third-party dependencies: Manually download IsaacGym_Preview_4_Package.tar.gz from [1], and run:
tar -xvf IsaacGym_Preview_4_Package.tar.gz conda env config vars set ISAACGYM_PATH=`pwd`/isaacgym conda deactivate conda activate kscale-sim-library make install-third-party-external
Running Stompy experiments
Download our URDF model from here:
wget https://media.kscale.dev/stompy/latest_stl_urdf.tar.gz && tar -xzvf latest_stl_urdf.tar.gz python sim/scripts/create_fixed_torso.py export MODEL_DIR=stompy
Run training with the following command:
python sim/humanoid_gym/train.py --task=legs_ppo --num_envs=4096 --headless
or for full body:
python sim/humanoid_gym/train.py --task=stompy_ppo --num_envs=4096 --headless
Run evaluation with the following command:
python sim/humanoid_gym/play.py --task legs_ppo --sim_device cpu
See this doc for more beginner tips.
Handling Errors
After cloning Isaac Gym, sometimes the bindings mysteriously disappear. To fix this, update the submodule:
git submodule update --init --recursive
If you observe errors with libpython3.8.so.1.0, you can try the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=PATH_TO_YOUR_ENV/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If you still see segmentation faults, you can try the following:
sudo apt-get install vulkan1
