agibot_x1_infer

Introduction

AgiBot X1 is a modular humanoid robot with high dof developed and open-sourced by AgiBot. It is built upon AgiBot's open-source framework AimRT as middleware and using reinforcement learning for locomotion control.

This project is about the accompanying software for AgiBot X1, including multiple functional modules such as model inference, platform driver, and software simulation.

For detailed tutorials on AimRT framework, please visit the AimRT official website.

Running Instructions

Preparation for Launch

• Install cmake (version 3.26 or above).

• Install ONNX Runtime.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntimecd onnxruntime
./build.sh --config Release --build_shared_lib --parallelcd build/Linux/Release/
sudo make install

• Install ROS2 Humble and configure the environment variables. For detailed instructions, visit the ROS2 official website.

• Install dependencies for the simulation environment.

sudo apt install jstest-gtk 
                 ros-humble-xacro 
                 ros-humble-gazebo-ros-pkgs 
                 ros-humble-gazebo-ros2-control 
                 ros-humble-joint-state-publisher 
                 ros-humble-joint-state-broadcaster

• Install the Linux realtime kernel patch if real-robot debugging is needed.

It will be very slow or even fail to download AimRT's numerous dependencies from default sources. Therefore, we provide environment variables DOWNLOAD_FLAGS for the download based on the Gitee source in url.bashrc. Simply source url.bashrc before running build.sh and add environment variable parameters for the Gitee source.

After completing the above steps, execute the following commands in the terminal:

source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bashsource url.bashrc# Build./build.sh $DOWNLOAD_FLAGS# Test./test.sh $DOWNLOAD_FLAGS

Launch Simulation

Prepare two terminals:

cd build/# Terminal 1: Launch the inference module and joystick control module in simulation mode../run_sim.sh# Terminal 2: Launch the Gazebo simulation program../run_gazebo.sh

Launch on Real Robot

Export your library path first, just need to execute once.

# Open "/etc/ld.so.conf" as rootsudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf# Add this path to the end of "/etc/ld.so.conf"/opt/ros/humble/lib
{YourProjectSource}/build/install/lib# Refresh system envsudo ldconfig

Ready to launch.

cd build/
./run.sh

Joystick Control

For specific control instructions, please refer to the Joystick Control Module.
