Pytorch implementation of Diffusion models in SE(3) for grasp and motion generation

This library provides the tools for training and sampling diffusion models in SE(3), implemented in PyTorch. We apply them to learn 6D grasp distributions. We use the learned distribution as cost function for grasp and motion optimization problems. See reference [1] for additional details.

Installation

Create a conda environment

conda env create -f environment.yml

Activate the environment and install the library

conda activate se3dif_env && pip install -e .

Clone https://github.com/TheCamusean/mesh_to_sdf and install

pip install -e .

Installation Issues

pip install theseus-ai not working. I suggest trying to install Theseus from source https://github.com/AI-App/Theseus

Download Data and Trained Models

We define the source of the dataset and trained models in se3dif/utils/directory_utils.py Originally, the data root folder is set in the folder in which the repository is (one folder before the repository). Nevertheless, you can change it by changing root_directory in se3dif/utils/directory_utils.py.

root
└─── data
│   │   grasps
│   │   meshes
│   │   sdf
│   └─── models
│   │   │ graspdif_model_0
│   │   │ graspdif_model_1
│ 
└─── grasp_diffusion (repository)

Processed Data

(Based on Acronym [2] and Shapenet dataset [3])

We provide indications on how to prepare the training dataset in scripts/create_data.

The already prepared data can be downloaded by cd .. and download data.

Trained Models

In the base folder of the repository

cd .. && mkdir data
cd data
sudo apt-get install git-lfs
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/camusean/grasp_diffusion models

Sample Grasps

Sample given the whole object pointcloud

python scripts/sample/generate_pointcloud_6d_grasp_poses.py --n_grasps 10 --obj_id 0 --obj_class 'ScrewDriver'

Sample given a mug-specialized model

python scripts/sample/generate_pointcloud_6d_grasp_poses.py --n_grasps 10 --obj_id 10 --obj_class 'Mug' --model 'grasp_dif_mugs'

Sample given a partial pointcloud

python scripts/sample/generate_partial_pointcloud_6d_grasp_poses.py --n_grasps 10 --obj_id 12 --obj_class 'Mug'

Train a new model

Train pointcloud conditioned model

python scripts/train/train_pointcloud_6d_grasp_diffusion.py

Train partial pointcloud conditioned model

python scripts/train/train_partial_pointcloud_6d_grasp_diffusion.py

Evaluate Generated Grasps in Simulation (Isaac Gym) and compute Earth Moving Distance

To evaluate a trained model in Isaac Gym, you first have to install the simulator and install it into your conda environment. Note: for our experiments, we used Isaac Gym preview3.

In the file scripts/evaluate/evaluate_pointcloud_6d_grasp_poses.py we showcase how we evaluate the quality of the trained model

python scripts/evaluate/evaluate_pointcloud_6d_grasp_poses.py --n_grasps 100 --obj_id 0 --obj_class 'Mug' --model 'grasp_dif_mugs' --device "cuda:0"
