KOVIS: Keypoint-based Visual Servoing with Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real Transfer for Robotics Manipulation

This repo covers the data generation, training and inference of kovis visual servos introduced in KOVIS: Keypoint-based Visual Servoing with Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real Transfer for Robotics Manipulation (IROS 2020) by En Yen Puang, Keng Peng Tee and Wei Jing.

Inference uses UR5, realsense D435 camera, ROS and urx.

demo

Installation

We recommend using virtual python environment like Conda with python3.

  1. Install PyTorch
  2. Install other packages
pip install -r requirements.txt 
  1. (Optinal) Install ROS, rospkg and RealSense camera driver
  2. (Optinal) install urx for UR robot
pip install git+https://github.com/enyen/python-urx

Usage

  1. Generate training data in pyBullet:
cd KOVIS_VisualServo
# example for generating dataset for pick-mug task
python oja_pick.py cfg/dataset_pick_mug.yaml

If no monitor is connected, render without shadow by replacing line 19 with

pyb.connect(pyb.DIRECT)  # pyb.connect(pyb.GUI)
  1. Training servo in pyTorch:
# example for training for pick-mug task
python train_servo.py cfg/train_pick_mug.yaml
  1. Running on robot:
    • launch realsense camera with both infra cameras enabled
    • turn off realsense laser using rqt_reconfigure
from inference_oja import Interface
rob = Interface()

# reach
# TODO: move tcp to close to object

# pick
rob.servo('pick_mug', 10, [0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.05, 0, 0], [0.1, 5])
rob.set_gripper(1)

# continue
# TODO: move object away
