The aim of this package is to enable learning of robot trajectories without without exceeding limits on the position, velocity, acceleration and jerk of each robot joint.
Movements are generated by mapping the predictions of a neural network to safely executable joint accelerations. \
This package provides the code to compute the range of safely executable joint accelerations.

## Installation

The package can be installed by running

    pip install klimits

## Trajectory generation &nbsp; [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/translearn/notebooks/blob/main/klimits_demo.ipynb)

To generate a random trajectory with limited jerk, acceleration, velocity and position run

    python -m klimits.test_trajectory_generation

Several parameters can be adjusted to modify the generated trajectory. E.g:

    python -m klimits.test_trajectory_generation --time_step=0.1 --pos_limits='[[-2.96705972839, 2.96705972839], [-2.09439510239, 2.09439510239]]' --vel_limits='[[-1.71042266695, 1.71042266695], [-1.71042266695, 1.71042266695]]' --acc_limits='[[-15, 15], [-7.5, 7.5]]' --plot_joint='[1, 0]' --pos_limit_factor=0.9 --vel_limit_factor=0.8 --acc_limit_factor=0.7 --jerk_limit_factor=0.6 --trajectory_duration=20 --plot_safe_acc_limits 
Run

    python -m klimits.test_trajectory_generation --help

for further details on the optional arguments.
