morse.core package

Submodules

morse.core.abstractobject module

class AbstractObject[source]

Bases: object

An abstract object. All components in MORSE (either physical components like actuators or sensors or pseudo components like component overlays) inherit from AbstractObject.

This abstract class provides all RPC service-related mechanics.

completed(status, result=None)[source]

This method must be invoked by the component when a service completes.

Calling this method triggers the notification of task completion to the client.

Parameters:
  • status (morse.core.status) – status (success, failure…) of the task
  • result – results of the service, if any (may be any valid Python object)
finalize()[source]

Destructor method.

interrupt()[source]

This method is automatically invoked by the component when a service is interrupted, basically to notify to the client that the task has been interrupted.

It can be overriden in each component to provide a true interrupt, for exemple resseting the speed command to 0.0.

If you override it, do not forget to call self.completed with status.PREEMPTED.

name()[source]

The name of the component, as appearing when exposing services for instance.

on_completion = None

When a task is considered ‘completed’ (the semantic of ‘completed’ is left to each component), the default_action method is expected to call this callback (if not None) with the task status (from core.status.*) + optional return value as a tuple.

For instance:

self.on_completion((status.FAILED, "Couldn't reach the target"))
self.on_completion((status.SUCCESS, {'x':1.0, 'y':0.54}))
self.on_completion((status.SUCCESS))
print_data()[source]

Print the current data for the component instance.

register_services()[source]

Register the component services, if any. Methods to register are marked ‘_morse_service’ by the @service’ decorator.

set_service_callback(cb)[source]

Sets the callback function that is to be invoked when the current request completes.

This is automatically set by the @async_service decorator and should not usually be directly called.

morse.core.actuator module

class Actuator(obj, parent=None)[source]

Bases: morse.core.object.Object

Basic Class for all actuator objects.

Provides common attributes.

action()[source]

Call the action functions that have been added to the list.

emit(record)[source]

Emit a record.

If a formatter is specified, it is used to format the record. The record is then written to the stream with a trailing newline. If exception information is present, it is formatted using traceback.print_exception and appended to the stream. If the stream has an ‘encoding’ attribute, it is used to determine how to do the output to the stream.

format(record)[source]

Format the specified record.

If a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.

morse.core.modifier module

register_modifier(classpath, component, direction, args)[source]

morse.core.morse_time module

This module deals with the time management in Morse, providing several possible implementations.

At the moment, it provides two implementations:
  • best effort (i.e. try to simulate at real-time, by dropping frame). The simulation is less acurate, because the physical steps are not really constant.
  • fixed simulation step. Compute all physical / logical step. The simulation will be more precise, but the simulation time will differ from computer clock time.
class BestEffortStrategy(relative_time)[source]

Bases: object

mean
name()[source]
real_time
statistics()[source]
update()[source]

The exact physical time elapsed between two logic call is hard to guess. In the nominal case, it is easy, as long as you have one logical step per render step. In other case, it depends on logic_max_step, physics_max_step, and “complex” internal logic.

So, instead of guessing it, observe it. Assuming the physical engine is perfect, put a solid at one meter by sec on x axis, and observe its displacement between two frame. We have:

dx = vx * dt

where vw = 1.0. So we have dx = dt.

Modern version of Blender (>= 2.77) provides the method bge.logic.getFrameTime() so if this information is available, just use it.

class FixedSimulationStepStrategy(relative_time)[source]

toggle_active()[source]
update_properties()[source]

Takes all registered properties (see add_property), and update their values according to the values set in Blender object.

morse.core.overlay module

class MorseOverlay(overlaid_object)[source]

Bases: morse.core.abstractobject.AbstractObject

This class allows to define ‘overlay’. An ‘overlay’ is a pseudo component that masks a MORSE default component behind a custom facet (with for instance custom signatures for services, ports, etc.).

This is especially useful when integrating MORSE into an existing robotic architecture where components have custom services/ports/topics whose signature does not match MORSE defaults.

As of MORSE 0.4, only services can currently be overlaid.

chain_callback(fn=None)[source]

When calling a component asynchronous service from an overlay, a callback (used to notify the client upon service completion) must be passed through. This callback does not usually appear in the service signature since it is added by the @async_service decorator.

Under normal circumstances, you must use this method as callback.

For instance, assume a Dummy component and an overlay MyDummy:

class Dummy(MorseObject):
    @async_service
    def dummy_service(self, arg1):
        # Here, dummy_service has a callback parameter added
        # by the decorator
        pass

class MyDummy(MorseAbstractobject):
    @async_service
    def mydummy_service(self, arg1):
        # [...do smthg useful]

        # We call the overlaid asynchronous service
        # 'dummy_service' by passing a special callback
        # returned by 'self.chain_callback()'
        self.overlaid_object.dummy_service(self.chain_callback(), arg1)

chain_callback takes a functor as an optional parameter. This functor is called after the (overlaid) service completion, but just before notifying the simulator client.

It can be used for output formatting for instance.

The functor must take one single parameter (a tuple (status, result)) and must as well return a tuple (status, result).

class MyDummy(MorseAbstractobject):

    def mydummy_on_completion(self, result):
        # This functor - here a simple function - simply
        # format the result output.
        # It could do anything else.
        status, value = result
        return (status, " . ".join(value))

    @async_service
    def mydummy_service(self, arg1):
        self.overlaid_object.dummy_service(self.chain_callback(self.mydummy_on_completion), arg1)
Parameters:fn – a functor to be called on service completion, before notifying the clients. Must have the following signature: (status, result) fn((status, result))
interrupt()[source]

This method is automatically invoked by the component when a service is interrupted, basically to notify to the client that the task has been interrupted.

It can be overriden in each component to provide a true interrupt, for exemple resseting the speed command to 0.0.

If you override it, do not forget to call self.completed with status.PREEMPTED.

name()[source]

Returns the overlaid component name.

By default, the name of the class of the overlaid component.

Override this method in your overlay to expose an alternative name.

morse.core.request_manager module

class RequestManager[source]

Bases: object

Basic Class for all request dispatchers, i.e., classes that implement a request service.

A request service offers typically 2 things:
  • the ability for a component (a robot, a sensor or the simulator as a whole) to expose a RPC method (typically for remote configuration or debug),
  • an interface with a specific middleware to serialize the RPC call and communicate with the outside world.

Components can register such a service with the ‘register_service’ method. Please check its documentation for details.

To implement a concrete RequestManager (for a new middleware, for instance), the following methods must be overloaded:

  • initialization(): perform here middleware specific initialization
  • finalization(): perform here middleware specific finalization
  • post_registration(): put here all middleware specific code that must be executed when a new service is registered.
  • on_service_completion(): this method is called when a ‘long term’ request completes. You should implement here a way to notify your clients.
  • main(): this method is called at each step of the simulation. You should read there incoming requests and write back results.

When a new request arrives, you must pass it to on_incoming_request() that dispatch or invoke properly the request.

Subclasses are also expected to overload the special __str__() method to provide middleware specific names.

abort_request(request_id)[source]

This method will interrupt a running asynchronous service, uniquely described by its request_id

finalization()[source]

This method is meant to be overloaded by middlewares to perform specific finalizations.

Must return True is the finalization is successful, False in other cases.

initialization()[source]

This method is meant to be overloaded by middlewares to perform specific initializations.

Must return True is the initialization is successful, False in other cases.

main()[source]

This is the main method of the RequestManagerClass: it reads external incoming requests, dispatch them through the on_incoming_request() method, and write back answers.

Subclasses are expected to overload this method.

on_incoming_request(component, service, params)[source]

This method handles incoming requests: it figures out who registered the service, checks if the service returns immediately or must be started and only later checked for termination, invokes the service, and returns the service result (for service that returns immediately).

If something goes wrong while trying to call the method, a morse.core.exceptions.MorseRPCInvokationError is raised.

If everything goes well, the method return a tuple: (True, return_value) or (False, request_id). The first item tells if the service is a synchronous (short-term) service (value is True) or an asynchronous service (False).

For asynchronous services, the returned request id should allow to track the completion of the service. Upon completion, on_service_completion() is invoked.

on_service_completion(request_id, result)[source]

This method is called when a asynchronous request completes.

Subclasses are expected to overload this method with code to notify the original request emitter.

Parameters:
  • request_id (uuid) – the request id, as return by on_incoming_request() when processing an asynchronous request
  • result – the service execution result.
post_registration(component_name, service_name, is_async)[source]

This method is meant to be overloaded by middlewares that have specific initializations to do when a new service is exposed.

Parameters:
  • component_name (string) – name of the component that declare this service
  • service_name (string) – Name of the service (if not overloaded in the @service decorator, should be the Python function name that implement the service)
  • is_async (boolean) – If true, means that the service is asynchronous.
Returns:

True if the registration succeeded.

Return type:

boolean

process()[source]

This method is the one actually called from the MORSE main loop.

It simply updates the list of pending requests (if any) and calls the main processing method.

register_async_service(component_name, callback, service_name=None)[source]

Allows a component to register an asynchronous RPC method.

A asynchronous method can last for several cycles without blocking the simulator. The callback method must take as first parameter a callable that must be used to set the results of the service upon completion.

For example, consider the following sample of asynchronous service:

def complex_computation(result_setter, param1, param2):
    do_computation_step() #should stay short, but can last several simulation steps

    if computation_done:
        result_setter(computation_results)

request_manager.register_async_service("computer", complex_computation)

As soon as the ‘result_setter’ is called with the results of the service, the clients of this service are notified via their middlewares.

See register_service() for detailed documentation of parameters.

register_service(component_name, callback, service_name=None, asynchronous=False)[source]

Allows a component to register a synchronous RPC method that is made publicly available to the outside world.

Parameters:
  • component_name (string) – name of the component that declare this service
  • callback (callable) – the method name to invoke on incoming request. If service_name is not defined, it will also be used as the public name of the service. If asynchronous is false (synchronous service), the method is expected to return immediately. In this case, its return value is immediately send back to the original caller.
  • asynchronous (boolean) – if true, the service is asynchronous: it can last for several cycles without blocking the communication interface. See register_async_service() for details.
  • service_name – if defined, service_name is used as public name for this RPC method.
services()[source]

Returns the list of all components and services registered with this request manager.

Returns:a dictionary of {components:[services…]} listing all services registered with this request manager.

Parameters:
  • component (string) – the name of the component that use request_manager as request manager.
  • request_manager (string) – the classpath of the request manager (eg: ‘morse.middleware.socket_request_manager.SocketRequestManager’, ‘morse.middleware.yarp_request_manager.YarpRequestManager’,…).
request_managers()[source]

Returns the list of active request managers.

Returns:a dictionary of active request managers {class name: instance}
async_service(fn=None, component=None, name=None)[source]

The @async_service decorator.

Refer to the @service decorator for most of the doc.

Asynchronous service specifics:

  • The function that is decorated is expected to simply start the service, and immediately return.
  • If the service can not be started, the function must throw a MorseRPCInvokationError with a error message explaining why the initialization failed.
do_service_registration(fn, component_name=None, service_name=None, asynchronous=False, request_managers=None)[source]
interruptible(fn)[source]

The @interruptible decorator.

Use this decorator to set an (asynchronous) service to be interruptible.

If MORSE receives a request for a new service while an interruptible service is running, the running service is preempted (the requester receives a morse.core.status.PREEMPTED status), and the new one is started.

See also noninterruptible() decorator.

noninterruptible(fn)[source]

The @noninterruptible decorator.

Use this decorator to set an (asynchronous) service to be non interruptible.

If MORSE receives a request for a new service while a non interruptible service is running, a failure message is returned to the requester.

See also interruptible() decorator.

service(fn=None, component=None, name=None, asynchronous=False)[source]

The @service decorator.

This decorator can be used to automagically register a service in MORSE. Simply decorate the method you want to export as a RPC service with @service and MORSE automatically add and register it with the right middleware (depending on what is specified in the simulation configuration file).

This decorator works both with free function and for methods in classes inheriting from morse.core.object.Object. In the former case, you must specify a component (your service will belong to this namespace), in the later case, it is automatically set to the name of the corresponding MORSE component.

Parameters:
  • fn (callable) – [automatically set by Python to point to the decorated function]
  • component (string) – you MUST set this parameter to define the name of the component which export the service ONLY for free functions. Cf explanation above.
  • name (string) – by default, the name of the service is the name of the method. You can override it by setting the ‘name’ argument.
  • asynchronous (boolean) – if set to True (default value when using @async_service), a new ‘callback’ parameter is added to the method. This callback is used to notify the service initiator that the service completed. The callback does not need to be build manually: morse.core.request_manager.RequestManager.on_incoming_request() takes care of it.

morse.core.status module

FAILED = 'FAILED'

The request failed.

PREEMPTED = 'PREEMPTED'

The request was interupted and replaced by another one

SUCCESS = 'SUCCESS'

The request was successfully achieved

morse.core.wheeled_robot module

class PhysicsAckermannRobot(obj, parent=None)[source]

Bases: morse.core.wheeled_robot.PhysicsWheelRobot

Base class for mobile robots following the Ackermann steering principle

This base class handles the simulation of the physical interactions between Ackermann-like vehicle and the ground. It assumes the vehicle has 4 wheels.

To ensure proper (v, w) enforcement, the model relies on some internal PID controller, hence the different properties.

apply_vw_wheels(vx, vw)[source]

Apply (v, w) on the parent robot.

We cannot rely on the theoric ackermann model due to important friction generation by front wheel. So, use a simple PID to guarantee the constraints

attach_front_wheel_to_body(wheel, parent)[source]

Attaches the wheel to the given parent using a 6DOF constraint

Set the wheel positions relative to the robot in case the chassis was moved by the builder script or manually in blender

attach_rear_wheel_to_body(wheel, parent)[source]

Attaches the wheel to the given parent using a 6DOF constraint

Set the wheel positions relative to the robot in case the chassis was moved by the builder script or manually in blender

build_vehicle()[source]

Apply the constraints to the vehicle parts.

class PhysicsDifferentialRobot(obj, parent=None)[source]

Bases: morse.core.wheeled_robot.PhysicsWheelRobot

Base class for mobile robots using a differential drive motion model.

This base class handles the simulation of the physical interactions between differential-drive robots and the ground.

apply_vw_wheels(vx, vw)[source]

Apply (v, w) to the parent robot.

get_wheels()[source]

Get pointers to and physicsIds of all objects Compute wheel_radius too

morse.core.zone module

class Zone(obj)[source]

Bases: object

Creates a named zone in the 3D environment. This can be used by components via the :py:class:morse.core.ZoneManagerto trigger specific behaviours when the component is inside the zone.

The main method is the contains one, which allow to decide if a point is part of a zone (and so potentially to trigger some behaviour).

Note that for simplicity, we currently assume the zone axis follows the world axis.

contains(pos)[source]

Verify if a pos (represented by a vector) is contained in the zone

The implementation assumes that the zone is a rectangle, with axis following world axis.

class ZoneManager[source]

Bases: object

Handle the different zones, allowing to search for them ‘efficiently’ (at least in an abstract way)

add(obj)[source]
contains(obj_or_pos, name=None, type=None)[source]

Determine which zone(s) contain(s) the position pos

If :param obj_or_pos: is a :py:class:morse.core.object.Object, consider the position of the object. Otherwise, assume it is a position. If a :param name: is precised, check only if this specific zone contains the position If a :param type: is precised, only search in the zone of this type.

The method returns the list of zones containing the position, considering the previous limitation

is_in(obj_or_pos, name=None, type=None)[source]

Determine if obj_or_pos is in a zone

If :param obj_or_pos: is a :py:class:morse.core.object.Object, consider the position of the object. Otherwise, assume it is a position. If a :param name: is precised, check only if this specific zone contains the position If a :param type: is precised, only search in the zone of this type.
