This package presents an efficient multi-agent trajectory planning algorithm which generates safe trajectories in obstacle-dense environments. Our algorithm combines the advantages of both grid-based and optimization-based approaches, and generates safe, dynamically feasible trajectory without suffering from an errorneous optimization setup such as imposing infeasible collision constraints. The details can be found at the following link.

This work is implemented based on C++17. Tested in the ROS Melodic, Ubuntu 18.04
(1) Install ROS Melodic for Ubuntu 18.04 or ROS Noetic for Ubuntu 20.04 (http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Installation, desktop-full version is recommended)
(2) Install CPLEX (https://www.ibm.com/products/ilog-cplex-optimization-studio)
(3) Install dependancies and clone packages
sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-octomap
sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-octomap-server
sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-octomap-ros
sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-dynamic-edt-3d
git clone https://github.com/qwerty35/dynamic_msgs.git
git clone https://github.com/qwerty35/graph_rviz_plugin.git
git clone https://github.com/qwerty35/lsc_planner.git
(<distro>
is melodic
or noetic
depending on your ROS version.)
(4) Before building packages, check CMAKELIST that CPLEX_PREFIX_DIR is indicating the intallation location. For instance, if CPLEX is installed in /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio201
, then CPLEX_PREFIX_DIR should be:
set(CPLEX_PREFIX_DIR /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio201)
(5) Build packages
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
roslaunch lsc_planner simulation.launch
The simulation result will be saved at lsc_planner/log.
You can configure the simulation setting at the launch, mission files.
- launch/simulation.launch: Mission, octomap, parameters for algorithm
- missions/*.json: Start, goal, dynamical limit of the agent, map size
See the comments in the launch/simulation.launch and missions/readme.txt file for more details
Note: If you want to generate the mission file automatically, then use matlab script in matlab/mission_generator
This work is implemented based on the following packages.
(1) RVO2, RVO2-3D (https://gamma.cs.unc.edu/RVO2/downloads/)
(2) 3D-AStar-ThetaStar (https://github.com/PathPlanning/3D-AStar-ThetaStar)
(3) rapidjson (https://rapidjson.org/)
(4) openGJK (https://www.mattiamontanari.com/opengjk/)
(1) Numerical issue: This code may cause infeasible optimization problem due to the numerical error of dynamicEDT3D library. If you want to avoid infeasible constraints, then use alternative method in the function 'TrajPlanner::generateFeasibleSFC()' in traj_planner.cpp However, it is prone to deadlock and is too conservative.
(2) Grid based planner issue: This code is not fully tested with various maps. Grid based planner may not work with some maps.
