Python-ERVO

• This repository containts the code for interactive crowd simulator used in the IROS 2020 paper "L2B: Learning to Balance the Safety-Efficiency Trade-off in Interactive Crowd-aware Robot Navigation"
• The original RVO implementation is the folk of Python bindings for Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance.

Dependencies

• CMake 3.1+
• Cython 0.21.1+

Setup

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py build      # build
$ python setup.py install    # build & install

Usage

• For more details, see example_ervo.py

# original RVO
sim_rvo = rvo2.PyRVOSimulator(time_step, *params, radius, max_speed)
sim_rvo.doStep()

# extended ERVO
sim_ervo = rvo2.PyERVOSimulator(time_step, *params, radius, max_speed)
sim_ervo.doStep((beep_agent.px, beep_agent.py), beep_radius)
