DECISION

DECISION Ground on the Loop Autonomy Planning Tool

Conda Environment

DECISION uses Conda to maintain dependancy versions. Follow the instruction here to set up the DECISION conda environment.

Submodules

Run the follow commands to recursively collect and update submodules.

cd DECISION
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive

If encountering an error, download the submodule directly from the repository (https://github.com/JPLMLIA/OWLS-Autonomy.git) and put it in decision/OSIA/OWLS-Autonomy/

Building the ACME OSIA Docker container

DECISION runs the ACME OSIA algorithm inside a docker container. To build this container run the following commands.

cd DECISION/decision/OSIA/OWLS-Autonomy/
docker build . -f Dockerfile_ACME --tag owls-autonomy-acme:v1

Increasing Docker Memory

Default RAM allocated to Docker containers can be too low if you're attempting to optimize many ACME observations at once. RAM allocation can be increased from the Docker desktop application under gear icon->Resources->Memory. We recommend running the ACME Docker container with 10-12GB of RAM if your system allows.

DECISION Demo Data

Demo data to use with DECISION can be found at https://ml.jpl.nasa.gov/projects/decision/ACME_Demo_Data.zip. Unzip this repository and place it in DECISION/decision/data/.

Installing Dakota

DECISION utilizes Dakota for parameter optimization. Follow instructions at https://dakota.sandia.gov/installation/ to install Dakota.

Testing DECISION

Verify installation by running DECISION unit tests. This is accomplished with the following commands. Test coverage reports will be generated in docs/coverage_report/. View docs/coverage_report/index.html for a summary of testing results.

cd DECISION/decision/
pytest -rP --ignore=OSIA --disable-warnings --cov=decision --cov-report html:docs/coverage_report test/ -v

Running DECISION

Start DECISION using the following commands.

cd DECISION/decision/
python decision.py
