[Question] about robotics-toolbox-python

[petercorke]

I think this is an error I made in exporting the repo from svn to git. I will try and redo this.

[castarco]

Ok, can I help to solve this issue doing something? I prefer to use Python than using Matlab for my robotics practices, but I have to work with other people and I want to make easier for them to work with this library.

I want to push it to the PyPI packages repository ( https://pypi.python.org ), but I don't know which branch I should choose.

I prefer contributing to your project since you are the main contributor and the project manager, but I don't know if this is a discontinued project, and the "branches problem" also affects this point.

Regards.

It’d be great to have some help. This work happened a long time ago, so I’d probably organise the code and the object structure a bit differently now. It might be a bit premature to push it to PyPI just yet.

I’ve had some issues with the transition from svn to github, and am currently trying to figure out what’s happened there. That’s a priority for me.

As far as I can tell there is only 1 branch.

I am willing to help as well. I like what I have seen in your book and the MOOC classes.

Any suggestions on where to start with updating this code leading up to making a PyPI package?

[petercorke]

Guys, sorry for the stupidly long delay. I've spent a lot of the last year working on a major revision to the book and the MATLAB code. I'd really like to move on the Python port. Any ideas on a good way to automagically translate code?

[thomper]

I've been looking into it again lately and the MATLAB compiler is all I can come up with. I believe it lets you compile your MATLAB source to a C library. You can then call C functions from Python using the ctypes module. I'm planning to try it out but I have little time I can spend on it right now.

Failing that, I see the author of smop (victorlei on github) started working on it again a few months back. Getting smop to 1.0 might be the next simplest option.

Edit: we don't need to go to C, the MATLAB Compiler SDK can produce Python modules now. See the Python Applications section at https://au.mathworks.com/products/matlab-compiler-sdk/features.html

I'll try to check it out this weekend.

Glad to see you are looking to update the Python port. Unfortunately I'm not in a good spot to help much right now.

Hey everyone, I just stumbled upon this thread while reviewing some old notes.

I've been working on a personal Python toolbox, inspired from the original MATLAB concept by @petercorke, for my research and industrial work. Back when I checked for a toolbox Python port, I had assumed the project was abandoned.

While my project is geared towards machine learning, optimization, calibration, etc of serial robots, I think there'd be a lot to gain if we combined efforts.

Hi Nicholas, I’d be interested to know more about your project. My project hasn’t progressed, lots of people say it’s a nice idea but nobody has the cycles to spare. I’ve been swamped by book edition 2 and RTB 10 (coming soon). A possibility that intrigues me a lot at the moment is the Julia language, check out http://julialang.org <http://julialang.org/> It’s scary that it’s only at rev 0.5 but the language features are brilliant.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the interest and best of luck on the new book. For my project, my particular research domain is precision/medical robotics, so calibration and adaptive control are big aspects. I felt it was important to interface with popular packages such as numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, tensorflow, etc. I've played with Julia a bit, and it's quite fascinating, especially in the big data and machine learning domain. However, while it is a great tool for that particular field, the same argument can also be made for languages such as Go and Rust. It depends on the purpose of the project: do we want it to be hyper-performant or accessible and widespread in usage? Personally, I often find code/projects/products to be more efficient and effective when they use popular languages (C/C++, Java, Python).

that Python toolbox is no longer supported. Try robopy instead. peter
