OkayPlan: A real-time path planning algorithm for dynamic environments

This is the authors' implementation of OkayPlan.

Dependencies:

torch >= 2.1.1
pygame >= 2.5.2
numpy >= 1.26.2

python >= 3.11.5

You can install torch by following the guidance from its official website. We strongly suggest you install the CUDA 12.1 version, though CPU version or lower CUDA version are also supported.

How to use:

After installation, you can run OkayPlan via:

python Application_Phase.py

Then you will see:

where the red point is our robot, the green point is the target, and the blue curve is the path generated by OkayPlan.

Play with Keyboard:

You can also play with OkayPlan using your Keyboard (UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT) :

python Application_Phase.py --Playmode True --FPS 30

Basic parameters:

There are 6 parameters that could be configured when running OkayPlan:

dvc (string; default 'dvc'):
- The device that runs the OkayPlan
- Should be one of 'cpu'/'cuda'. We suggest using 'cuda' (GPU) to accelerate the simulation
RO (bool; default 'True'):
- True = random obstacles; False = consistent obstacles
DPI (bool; default 'True'):
- True = Dynamic Prioritized Initialization; False = Prioritized Initialization
KP (bool; default 'True'):
- True = Use Kinematics Penalty; False = Not use Kinematics Penalty
FPS (int; default '0'):
- The FPS when rendering
- '0' means render at the maximum speed
Playmode (bool; default 'False'):
- True = Control the target point with your keyboard (UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT); False = Target point moves by itself

Comparison with other methods (real-time rendering):

Decoupled Implementation

The decoupled implementation of OkayPlan can be found in folder 'Decoupled Implementation', where the L_SEPSO.py is decoupled into Planner.py, Env.py, and mian.py.
