Public Member Functions

 KPIECE1 (const SpaceInformationPtr &si)
 Constructor.
 
base::PlannerStatus solve (const base::PlannerTerminationCondition &ptc) override
 Function that can solve the motion planning problem. This function can be called multiple times on the same problem, without calling clear() in between. This allows the planner to continue work for more time on an unsolved problem, for example. If this option is used, it is assumed the problem definition is not changed (unpredictable results otherwise). The only change in the problem definition that is accounted for is the addition of starting or goal states (but not changing previously added start/goal states). If clearQuery() is called, the planner may retain prior datastructures generated from a previous query on a new problem definition. The function terminates if the call to ptc returns true.
 
void clear () override
 Clear all internal datastructures. Planner settings are not affected. Subsequent calls to solve() will ignore all previous work.
 
void setGoalBias (double goalBias)
 
double getGoalBias () const
 
void setBorderFraction (double bp)
 Set the fraction of time for focusing on the border (between 0 and 1). This is the minimum fraction used to select cells that are exterior (minimum because if 95% of cells are on the border, they will be selected with 95% chance, even if this fraction is set to 90%)
 
double getBorderFraction () const
 Get the fraction of time to focus exploration on boundary.
 
void setCellScoreFactor (double good, double bad)
 When extending a motion from a cell, the extension can be successful or it can fail. If the extension is successful, the score of the cell is multiplied by good. If the extension fails, the score of the cell is multiplied by bad. These numbers should be in the range (0, 1].
 
void setBadCellScoreFactor (double bad)
 Set the factor that is to be applied to a cell's score when an expansion from that cell fails.
 
void setGoodCellScoreFactor (double good)
 Set the factor that is to be applied to a cell's score when an expansion from that cell succeedes.
 
double getGoodCellScoreFactor () const
 Get the factor that is multiplied to a cell's score if extending a motion from that cell succeeded.
 
double getBadCellScoreFactor () const
 Get the factor that is multiplied to a cell's score if extending a motion from that cell failed.
 
void setMaxCloseSamplesCount (unsigned int nCloseSamples)
 When motions reach close to the goal, they are stored in a separate queue to allow biasing towards the goal. This function sets the maximum size of that queue.
 
unsigned int getMaxCloseSamplesCount () const
 Get the maximum number of samples to store in the queue of samples that are close to the goal.
 
void setProjectionEvaluator (const base::ProjectionEvaluatorPtr &projectionEvaluator)
 Set the projection evaluator. This class is able to compute the projection of a given state.
 
void setProjectionEvaluator (const std::string &name)
 Set the projection evaluator (select one from the ones registered with the state space).
 
const base::ProjectionEvaluatorPtr & getProjectionEvaluator () const
 Get the projection evaluator.
 
void setup () override
 Perform extra configuration steps, if needed. This call will also issue a call to ompl::base::SpaceInformation::setup() if needed. This must be called before solving.
 
void getPlannerData (base::PlannerData &data) const override
 Get information about the current run of the motion planner. Repeated calls to this function will update data (only additions are made). This is useful to see what changed in the exploration datastructure, between calls to solve(), for example (without calling clear() in between).

 Get the space information this planner is using.
 
const ProblemDefinitionPtrgetProblemDefinition () const
 Get the problem definition the planner is trying to solve.
 
ProblemDefinitionPtrgetProblemDefinition ()
 Get the problem definition the planner is trying to solve.
 
const PlannerInputStatesgetPlannerInputStates () const
 Get the planner input states.
 
virtual void setProblemDefinition (const ProblemDefinitionPtr &pdef)
 Set the problem definition for the planner. The problem needs to be set before calling solve(). Note: If this problem definition replaces a previous one, it may also be necessary to call clear() or clearQuery().
 
PlannerStatus solve (const PlannerTerminationConditionFn &ptc, double checkInterval)
 Same as above except the termination condition is only evaluated at a specified interval.
 
PlannerStatus solve (double solveTime)
 Same as above except the termination condition is solely a time limit: the number of seconds the algorithm is allowed to spend planning.
 
virtual void clearQuery ()
 Clears internal datastructures of any query-specific information from the previous query. Planner settings are not affected. The planner, if able, should retain all datastructures generated from previous queries that can be used to help solve the next query. Note that clear() should also clear all query-specific information along with all other datastructures in the planner. By default clearQuery() calls clear().

 Get the name of the planner.
 
void setName (const std::string &name)
 Set the name of the planner.
 
const PlannerSpecsgetSpecs () const
 Return the specifications (capabilities of this planner)
 
virtual void checkValidity ()
 Check to see if the planner is in a working state (setup has been called, a goal was set, the input states seem to be in order). In case of error, this function throws an exception.
 
bool isSetup () const
 Check if setup() was called for this planner.
 
ParamSetparams ()
 Get the parameters for this planner.

void freeMotion (Motion *motion)
 Free the memory for a motion.
 
Grid::CelladdMotion (Motion *motion, double dist)
 Add a motion to the grid containing motions. As a hint, dist specifies the distance to the goal from the state of the motion being added. The function Returns the number of cells created to accommodate the new motion (0 or 1).
 
bool selectMotion (Motion *&smotion, Grid::Cell *&scell)
 Select a motion and the cell it is part of from the grid of motions. This is where preference is given to cells on the boundary of the grid.
 
unsigned int findNextMotion (const std::vector< Grid::Coord > &coords, unsigned int index, unsigned int count)
 When generated motions are to be added to the tree of motions, they often need to be split, so they don't cross cell boundaries. Given that a motion starts out in the cell origin and it crosses the cells in coords[index] through coords[last] (inclusively), return the index of the state to be used in the next part of the motion (that is within a cell). This will be a value between index and last.

Detailed Description

Kinodynamic Planning by Interior-Exterior Cell Exploration.

Short description
KPIECE is a tree-based planner that uses a discretization (multiple levels, in general) to guide the exploration of the continuous space. This implementation is a simplified one, using a single level of discretization: one grid. The grid is imposed on a projection of the state space. When exploring the space, preference is given to the boundary of this grid. The boundary is computed to be the set of grid cells that have less than 2n non-diagonal neighbors in an n-dimensional projection space. It is important to set the projection the algorithm uses (setProjectionEvaluator() function). If no projection is set, the planner will attempt to use the default projection associated to the state space. An exception is thrown if no default projection is available either. This implementation is intended for systems with differential constraints.

In the process of randomly selecting states in the state space to attempt to go towards, the algorithm may in fact choose the actual goal state, if it knows it, with some probability. This probability is a real number between 0.0 and 1.0; its value should usually be around 0.05 and should not be too large. It is probably a good idea to use the default value.
