Deep learning is finding its utility in all aspects of life. Its applications span diverse fields, from image and speech recognition to medical diagnosis and autonomous vehicles, showcasing its transformative potential in revolutionizing how machines comprehend and respond to information.
Consequently, it has been widely used in robotics, too. It has become successful in robotics. However, its intrinsic reliance on pre-existing data becomes a limitation when confronted with dynamic and evolving environments. The data-centric nature of deep learning impedes its ability to generalize effectively in the face of continually changing surroundings.’
Physics-based optimization generalizes better but could perform better in complicated tasks due to the lack of high-level semantic information and reliance on manual parametric tuning. Using both worlds, PyPose is created to address deep perceptual models with physics-based optimization.
Researchers have made PyPose, which is built on the PyTorch framework. PyPose is a user-friendly toolkit tailored for researchers and developers in the robotics domain. Its clean and well-organized architecture, following the imperative style interface of PyTorch, facilitates seamless integration into real-world robotic applications. The library has over a 10x computation speed compared to existing state-of-the-art alternatives.
PyPose makes it easy for people to build and try lots of different tools for making robots move, planning, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and figuring out where they are. It also can do parallel computing for gradients of Lie groups and Lie algebra of any order, alongside 2nd-order optimizers, including GaussNewton and LevenbergMarquardt.
Researchers highlighted that Pypose has several distinctive features. PyPose includes the differentiation of Lie groups and Lie algebra, encompassing SO3, SE3, so3, and se3. Pypose also embraces 2nd-order optimizers, further enriching its capabilities with functionalities like GaussNewton and LevenbergMarquardt. PyPose offers various differentiable filters, dynamics models, linear quadratic regulators, extended and unscented Kalman filters, IMU pre-integration, and more.
The researchers emphasized that the impact of PyPose on robot learning is revolutionary, bridging the classical foundations of robotics with contemporary learning methodologies. PyPose bridges deep learning-based perception algorithms with physics-based optimization to enable improved performance and adaptability in challenging robotic tasks.
PyPose is a powerful example of blending age-old robotics techniques with the latest innovations in deep learning. With its diverse range of features, streamlined design, and significant acceleration in performance, PyPose has become an important tool for researchers and developers navigating the complex world of robotic applications. The researchers want to improve PyPose further to fill the gap in robot learning.
