pybullet.changeVisualShape(obUid,linkIndex,specularColor=[R,G,B]) and Bullet C-API b3UpdateVisualShapeSpecularColor
Bug fixes in b3ResourcePath::findResourcePath resolution.
add stadium.sdf and roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium assets https://github.com/openai/roboschool/tree/master/roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium
minor fixes to obj2sdf
Remove roof from kitchens/1.sdf, otherwise shadows and shinyness won't work (light is outside the room, bouncing against roof-top)
Make kuka_iiwa/model.urdf more smooth, use .obj for per-vertex normals (using Blender, import STL, export OBJ, enable triangles, normals and Z-UP, Y forward)
fix in b3HashString
remove many unused dependencies from kuka_grasp_block_playback.py (time,math, datetime ,numpy,pylab ,sys, os, fnmatch,argparse were not used!)
move block_grasp_log.bin from Bullet3/data to Bullet3/examples/pybullet/examples/data folder.
PhysicsServerCommandProcessor, derive from CommandProcessorInterface to prepare for different back-end implementation
Bullet C-API b3ChangeDynamicsInfoSetSpinningFriction/RollingFriction/Resitution
b3PhysicsParamSetRestitutionVelocityThreshold, / pybullet.setPhysicsEngineParameter restitutionVelocityThreshold:
if the velocity is below this threshhold, the restitution is zero (this prevents energy buildup at near-resting state)
pybullet restitution.py example.
implement friction anchors, position friction correction, disabled by default. Use colObj->setCollisionFlag(flag | CF_HAS_FRICTION_ANCHOR); See test/RobotClientAPI/SlopeFrictionMain.cpp. In URDF or SDF, add <friction_anchor/> in <contact> section of <link> to enable.
PhysicsServer: properly restore old activation state after releasing picked object
btMultiBodyConstraintSolver: disable flip/flop of contact/friction constraint solving by default (it breaks some internal flaky unit tests)
added test urdf files for minitaur with all fixed joints, or fixed knees.
added some stiffness/damping to minitaur legs (testing)
tiny_obj_loader, don't crash on invalid texture coordinates
btMultiBodyConstraintSolver: sweep back and forward to reduce asymmetry
- resetDebugVisualizerCamera now accepts negative values for pitch and
yaw angles
- Defining kitchen model to be concave, so as to be able to put floating
objects inside
- Fixed an indention error in testrender_np.py
add minitaur quadruped playback of minitaur log files (real robot and simulated create the same log files)
add improved minitaur.urdf file, see https://youtu.be/lv7lybtOzeo for a preview.
add missing 1.sdf for Bullet/data/kitchens/1.sdf
add support for getting keyboard events (pybullet.getKeyboardEvents and b3RobotSimulatorClientAPI::getKeyboardEvents)
tune gripper grasp example with tefal pan, 800Newton force.
URDF importer: if using single transform 1 child shape, don't use compound shape.
if renderGUI is false, don't intercept mouse clicks
add manyspheres.py example (performance is pretty bad, will look into it)
[pybullet] expose contactBreakingThreshold
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMJyZtHQL50
added b3InitSyncBodyInfoCommand, to retrieve body info, when connecting to a server with existing bodies
pybullet will call this b3InitSyncBodyInfoCommand automatically after connecting
Avoid overriding the py.setVRCameraState setting in VR
always pass in width, hight and viewMatrix, projectionMatrix, optionally lightDir
added helper methods computeViewMatrix, computeViewMatrixFromYawPitchRoll, computeProjectionMatrix, computeProjectionMatrixFOV
see Bullet/examples/pybullet/testrender.py + testrender_np.py for example use
add missing base_link.stl for husky.urdf
update to OpenVR sdk 1.03 from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr
add camPosX/Y/Z and camRotZ to adjust relative camera/world transform for VR (so you can align virtual table with real table etc)
tweak quadruped.py to move a bit
add mouse picking to physics server
Add physics time scale in VR mode
Fix compound collision margin in physics server
Enable visuals for rigid body (non-multi-body) URDF/SDF loading in physics server.
add rolling/spinning friction to cube, remove it from plane/samurai.urdf
URDF2Bullet: support joint limits for revolute and prismatic, only if defined (if upper < lower, disable limit)
add some profiling markers to improve performance
rolling friction -> only along the normal, until we have separate rolling friction coefficients on normal and non-normal directions
Don't teleport with grasping controller (VR)
Tune VR grasping a bit.
URDF/SDF: add a flag to force concave mesh collisiofor static objects. <collision concave="yes" name="pod_collision">
VR: support teleporting using buttong, allow multiple controllers to be used, fast wireframe rendering,
Turn off warnings about deprecated C routine in btScalar.h/b3Scalar.h
Add a dummy return to stop a warning
Expose defaultContactERP in shared memory api/pybullet.
First start to expose IK in shared memory api/pybullet (not working yet)
causing serialization issue in URDF/SDF loading in double-precision mode on Windows 32bit.
(it was fine on Mac/Linux 64bit)
bump serialization version to 2.85, as we change the file format
fix in name clash in makesdna.cpp -> intptr_t is already defined.
add wsg50 gripper with modified r2d2 gripper tip
expose a fudge factor to scale inertia, to make grasping more stable
(until we have better grasping contact model/implementation)
Compile using premake+visual studio, and compile App_SharedMemoryPhysics_VR
Compile pybullet using cmake using cmake -DBUILD_PYBULLET=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
Create a symbolic link from c:\python\dlls\pybullet.pyd to C:\develop\bullet3\cmp\lib\Release\pybullet.dll
App_SharedMemoryPhysics_VR
Run Python. Here are some Python lines to get going:
import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.SHARED_MEMORY)
p.loadURDF("cube.urdf")
p.setGravity(0,0,-10)
p.setRealTimeSimulation(1)
Allow real-time simulation in physics server, add pybullet command setRealTimeSimulation to control it
Mesh decimation (reduce number of triangles/vertices) using a Blender modifier for Kuka IIWA and Husky
Disabled the 'glFlush' commands in GLInstancingRenderer.
Add VR controller methods to examples\CommonInterfaces\CommonExampleInterface.h
Use the ANSI version in Windows file/string operations instead of unicode, hope this doesn't break builds.
Fix uninitialized variable jointDamping/jointFriction in SDF importer
Add SDF <pose> parsing in visual, inertial, collision elements.
Slight improvement in TinyRender loading performance of largish meshes (30k vertices)
Reduce #define MAX_SDF_BODIES to 500, due to some issue in client code, todo: figure out what the issue is.
b3RobotSimAPI support SDF file loading
Tiny improvement in OpenGL hardware renderer lighting, to distinguish faces without textures
add an example using 'direct'
fix the send-desired-state commands, to add flags for arguments set, using default values.
Start exposing SDF loading in shared memory api, not fully implemented yet.
See bullet3/examples/Importers/ImportURDFDemo/DefaultVisualShapeConverter.h
Give the kuka_iiwa/model.urdf some blue color, not just orange, to mimick the original a bit better
Preparation for the CMD_CAMERA_IMAGE_COMPLETED command, to expose a virtual camera to the robotics API
